Modern slavery includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labor, and human trafficking. These practices violate fundamental human rights and have no place in any part of our business or supply chain.

• Contracts and Policies: Including clear anti-slavery clauses in supplier contracts and requiring adherence to ethical labor practices.
• Risk Assessments: Regularly assessing areas of our business and supply chain that may pose a higher risk of modern slavery.
• Training and Awareness: Educating employees about modern slavery, how to identify it, and the steps to report concerns.

5.Reporting Concerns

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices. Reports can be made confidentially through [Insert Reporting Mechanism or Contact Details].

6. Monitoring and Review

We regularly review our modern slavery policy and practices to ensure they remain effective and relevant. This includes evaluating our supply chain and addressing any identified risks or weaknesses.

7. Responsibility

The ultimate responsibility for preventing modern slavery within Custom Build Homes rests with the senior leadership team, supported by all employees and stakeholders.

8. Non-Compliance

Failure to comply with this policy or evidence of modern slavery within our operations or supply chain will result in immediate action, including the potential termination of contracts or partnerships.
