Demonstrated progress

We measure the performance and monitor all our sub-contractors monthly, using information available to stakeholders at any point in time via our databases. Additionally, we issue formalised reports to the wider business bi-monthly – using information and data to strategically identify negative and positive performance trends that may be indicators for closer inspection and audit, for which we hold contractual right.

Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: Unskilled Labour Supply
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers
• Group: Migrants
• Mitigation: All of the unskilled labour that United Living Group sources via agencies is 100% supplied from agencies who have successfully completed our modern slavery risk assessment and are bound by the terms and conditions of our Temporary Worker Agency contract. Additionally, we audit these agencies to ensure modern slavery risks are continually monitored and mitigated.
• Risk: Building Materials
• Tier: Tier 1 suppliers
• Mitigation: We rarely procure materials directly from overseas and in any instances that we do, we assess risks associated to modern slavery, largely procuring our materials directly from UK suppliers who have their own Modern Slavery policies and/or are aligned to our terms and conditions under contract. We focus time and spend into these strategically sourced relationships.
• Risk: Recruitment
• Area: Within your own operations
• Mitigation: We only use pre-approved reputable recruitment agencies. We conduct background checks, investigate reputation and ensure the staff it provides have the appropriate paperwork (e.g. work visas or other right to work documentation). We ensure that members of staff have a written contract of employment and on appointment ask them to confirm that they have not had to pay any direct or indirect fees to obtain work. We educate our staff to recognise the signs of slavery and trafficking.
