Other monitoring
We trained departments on modern slavery, child exploitation and trafficking, equipped FOH teams with ID guides, updated child protection policies via LMS, and now work only with vetted agencies.
Demonstrated progress
We established KPIs, embedded our processes into the health and safety framework, tightened supply-chain controls, and enhanced team training. By identifying child exploitation in UK hotels as a priority risk, we developed targeted training and clear protocols for its identification and mitigation.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Forced-labour risks in outsourced labour
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children
- Mitigation: We apply rigorous supply-chain oversight, partnering exclusively with verified suppliers who maintain comprehensive due-diligence records. This is an on-going process.
- Risk: Sector-specific supply-chain vulnerabilities (food & beverage, IT, operations, construction materials) tackled via enhanced risk assessments and due diligence
- Group: Migrants Refugees
- Mitigation: Perform enhanced due diligence via supplier questionnaires. Require all suppliers to sign our Ethical Trading Pledge and provide full transparency on labour practices. Monitor multi-tier supply chains to ensure sub-suppliers meet our human-rights and safety standards. Establish dual-sourcing and contingency plans for critical inputs to minimise disruption
- Risk: Child sexual exploitation risk
- Mitigation: Delivering mandatory training so all frontline staff can spot signs and report via 101 (quote “Operation Makesafe”) or 999 in emergencies. Enforcing strict guest verification Maintaining CCTV in reception, lifts, bars and corridors plus regular housekeeping room-visits to deter misuse of privacy. Following a clear escalation protocol: alert the duty manager immediately, call police as per Operation Makesafe, or use Crimestoppers for anonymous tips.
A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
08 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
09 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
10 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
11 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
12 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
