This statement is made pursuant to Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and outlines the steps taken by The Barton Partnership during the financial year ending 31 December 2025 to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains.
At The Barton Partnership, we unequivocally condemn all forms of slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation. We are committed to upholding the principles of the Modern Slavery Act and ensuring that our operations reflect integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights.
We recognise that modern slavery is a global issue that can affect any industry, including the recruitment and consulting sectors. As such, we take our responsibility seriously and are dedicated to identifying and mitigating any risks of modern slavery within our business and among our suppliers.
Our Approach
Governance & Accountability: We maintain clear policies and procedures that reflect our commitment to ethical business practices. These are regularly reviewed to ensure compliance with relevant legislation.
Supply Chain Due Diligence: We expect all suppliers, contractors, and business partners to share our values. We engage with them to ensure they have appropriate safeguards in place to prevent modern slavery and promote responsible practices.
Training & Awareness: We continue to raise awareness among our employees about the risks of modern slavery and the importance of vigilance, particularly in sectors vulnerable to exploitation.
Continuous Improvement: We are committed to ongoing assessment and enhancement of our practices to ensure we remain proactive in addressing modern slavery risks.
At The Barton Partnership, we believe that everyone has the right to work in a safe, fair, and dignified environment. We will continue to promote these values and advocate for the eradication of modern slavery in all its forms.
