Our commitment to the Modern Slavery Act 2015

West End Rigging is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking. As an equal opportunities employer, we’re committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.

Our recruitment and people management processes are designed
to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK
and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion. We do not enter into business with any organisation, in the UK or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

ensuring staff involved in procurement activity are aware of and follow modern slavery procurement guidance on GOV.UK
ensuring that consideration of the modern slavery risks and prevention are added to WER’s policy review process as an employer and procurer of goods and services.
making sure WER procurement strategies and contract terms and conditions include references to modern slavery and human trafficking
continuing to take action to embed a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery.
