Introduction

This statement sets out the steps taken by Showing Up Limited (“Showing Up”) to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Slavery and human trafficking can occur in many forms, such as forced labour, child labour, domestic servitude, sex trafficking and workplace abuse.

Given the nature of our work, we believe that there is a low risk of slavery or human trafficking being connected to our business. However, we must not be complacent. All staff have a responsibility to be aware of any risks in our business and in our wider supply chains, no matter how remote the possibility, and report any concerns to senior management.

Our supply chains are primarily comprised of services, including professional advisory services. We have reviewed our supply chains and believe the overall risk of modern slavery is low owing to: The nature of the goods and services which we procure (mainly skilled professional services); The locations from which we procure them (in developed markets); Our procurement practices (for example, we agree to reasonable terms and ensure timely payment).

Our policies on slavery and human trafficking

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking, and we are fully committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. We believe in paying people fairly and properly for their work. This policy and our internal policies reflect our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

Due diligence processes for slavery and human trafficking

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk, we have in place systems to: Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains. Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains. We set clear expectations for our suppliers by informing them that Showing Up does not tolerate modern slavery or any form of human trafficking within its business or supply chains, that Showing Up does not allow harsh or inhumane treatment, and we expect our suppliers to share our values.

Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains.

Staff are encouraged to report any concerns to senior management. We ensure appropriate recruitment practices are carried out. We verify the practices of any new recruitment agency as part of our terms of business with them and before accepting any workers from that agency.

Protect whistle-blowers.

At Showing Up, workers are encouraged to report concerns about our activities or supply chains.

Supplier adherence to our values.

We require that all contractual agreements with third-party suppliers contain obligations to ensure compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Potential slavery concerns must be assessed and addressed as part of any due diligence exercise during supplier onboarding or at regular intervals.

Training

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we will be providing training to appropriate members of staff.
