Anti-slavery policy (turnover threshold not met)

Introduction

A S Insurance Services Limited is committed to ensuring that all its business operations are free from involvement with slavery or human trafficking.

Annual statement

Although A S Insurance Services Limited does not meet the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 that would legally require A S Insurance Services Limited to produce a slavery and human trafficking statement, we recognise the importance of preventing modern slavery. Therefore, we will voluntarily produce an annual slavery and human trafficking statement. A link to this statement will be on the homepage of our website and will be signed and approved by A S Insurance Services Limited following approval by the board of directors.

A S Insurance Services Limited is responsible for ensuring that this statement is published and reviewed on an annual basis.

The statement will explain the steps that A S Insurance Services Limited has taken to ensure that slavery and trafficking are not taking place in any of its supply chains, or in any part of its own business.

Content of the statement

The following items will be included in the statement.

1. The structure of our organisation, the business operations of the organisation and the supply chains.
2. Our policies in relation to slavery and human trafficking.
3. The due diligence processes that we carry out to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our business and supply chains.
4. Identification of any parts of our business and supply chains where there is a risk of slavery or human trafficking taking place and the steps that we have taken to assess and manage the risk.
5. An assessment of the effectiveness of the measures that we have taken to stop slavery and human trafficking taking place and the way that we assess and manage the risks that are identified.
6. A statement that training about slavery and human trafficking is available to all employees.
