Audit outcomes are documented, and non-compliance triggers escalation, contract review and, where necessary, contract termination to protect workers and the integrity of our operations.
Reporting channels and whistleblowing
We maintain secure and confidential reporting channels so that workers, contractors and third parties can raise concerns without fear of reprisals. Reports may be made through internal reporting lines, directly to designated safeguarding leads, or via anonymous mechanisms established for supply chain partners.

Annual review and continuous improvement — This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year as part of our ongoing governance and compliance programme.
