page 1: "Toymaster Ltd employment policies should adequately prevent employment and anyone involved in or affected by modern slavery."

page 2: "1. Statements regarding compliance with the requirements of the Modern Slavery act have been added to all purchase order documents since October 2016. Some of these documents have signed confirmation of compliance by Suppliers.

2. A standard letter explaining Toymaster Ltd need to comply with the Modern Slavery Act has been drafted. This letter will be used with Suppliers and Members in due course.

3. A declaration of conformity about the Modern Slavery Act has been drafted and has been used to confirm compliance with the act by UK warehousing and cleaning companies.

Actions planned during 2017

4. Ethical audits at factories - As a member of the British Toy and Hobby Association Toymaster Ltd must ask its Suppliers to use factories that are audited under the ICTI Care ethical audit process or a similar scheme with the same or better standards.

This has always been implied but not formally agreed with Suppliers. In October 2017, this requirement will be added to purchase paperwork. As an ethical audit can manage many aspects of the Modern Slavery Act, further steps will be taken to establish the audit status of our Supplier’s factories. However, it should be noted that the influence Toymaster Ltd can exert over those factories may be very small and we would be reliant on the support of our Suppliers in this instance.

5. Information – the standard letter explaining the act and the obligations Toymaster Ltd must meet will be sent to suppliers and our Members. This will be reinforced by promoting this letter on the Toymaster Ltd website.

Actions planned for 2018

6. Suppliers – a more detailed risk assessment of our suppliers investigating those with Modern Slavery obligations of their own (i.e. over £36m turnover) and those that may present a higher risk. A supplier action plan will then be set.

7. Suppliers – further steps to establish the ethical audit status of their factories, this could include a questionnaire."
