Our Business
Jordan Care is a care company based in Manchester, UK, providing high-quality care services to individuals and families in the local community. We employ a diverse workforce, including international employees, to deliver compassionate and effective care.
Our Policy on Slavery and Human Trafficking
Jordan Care has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or supply chain.
Due Diligence Processes
To identify and mitigate the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking, we have implemented the following due diligence processes:
- 1. Recruitment Practices: We conduct thorough vetting of all potential employees, in-cluding right-to-work checks, reference checks, and where appropriate, criminal record checks. This is particularly stringent for our international recruitment process-es to ensure all employees are legally entitled to work and are recruited ethically.
- 2. Supplier Vetting: We maintain a rigorous supplier vetting process. We only work with suppliers who adhere to our ethical standards and policies regarding labor prac-tices.
- 3. Training and Awareness: We provide training to our employees to help them under-stand the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking and the role they play in identifying and reporting any concerns.
Risk Assessment and Management
We assess the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chain by:
- 1. Regular Audits: Conducting regular internal audits to ensure compliance with our policies.
- 2. Employee Feedback: Encouraging employees to report any concerns through our confidential whistleblowing policy.
- 3. Supplier Assessments: Requiring our suppliers to provide evidence of their own ef-forts to eliminate modern slavery within their operations.
Monitoring and Reporting
We continually monitor our efforts to combat modern slavery and human trafficking through:
- 1. Annual Reviews: Regularly reviewing our policies and procedures to ensure their ef-fectiveness.
- 2. Incident Reporting: Establishing clear procedures for reporting suspected cases of modern slavery within our operations or supply chain.
- 3. Performance Metrics: Using key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the suc-cess of our anti-slavery initiatives, including the number of employee training courses conducted and the results of supplier audits.
Future Steps
In the coming year, Jordan Care aims to:
- 1. Enhance Training: Expand our training programs to include more comprehensive coverage of modern slavery issues for all employees, particularly those involved in recruitment and supply chain management.
- 2. Supplier Engagement: Increase our engagement with suppliers to ensure they are also taking proactive steps to prevent modern slavery.
- 3. Policy Development: Further develop and refine our policies to address emerging risks and incorporate best practices in the fight against modern slavery.
