Policy

TCQ Surveyors Ltd is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery, human trafficking or illegal workers in our business or our supply chains. This Statement affirms our intention to act ethically in our business relationships.

Illegal Workers

TCQ Surveyors Ltd carry out appropriate VISA, Passport and DOB checks to ensure all employees are entitled to work in the UK in accordance with Sections 15 to 25 of the Immigration, Asylum & Nationality Act 2006. Should a non-EU resident apply to work with us, as identified by pre-employment screening questions, a copy of their work visa and passport would be required. All necessary checks would then be made to ensure the person had the right to work in the UK and they have no immigration restrictions that prevent them from doing the work in question.

Should a potential employees’ right to work in the UK be on a temporary basis, additional checks will be carried out to ensure that their documents have been renewed prior to them commencing employment to prevent a situation where their working rights would expire during their period of employment.

All related verified documentation is retained for a minimum of 2 years after the individual has ceased employment with TCQ Surveyors Ltd.

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking

TCQ Surveyors Ltd undertakes due diligence when considering taking on new suppliers, and regularly reviews its existing suppliers. The Company’s due diligence process includes the building of long-standing relationships with suppliers and making clear our expectations of business partners, evaluating the modern slavery and human trafficking risks of each new supplier &/or invoking sanctions against suppliers that fail to improve their performance in line with an action plan provided by us, including the termination of the business relationship.

Policy Review

This Modern Slavery and Illegal Workers Policy will be regularly reviewed and updated as necessary. The Company Director endorses this policy statement and is fully committed to its implementation.
