"• Designed remediation process for supporting victims of modern slavery in the event it is discovered within the UK business.
• During 2019/2020 we worked with the GLAA, hosting a multi company event in the Training Academy at the Rochdale site and on specific concerns that have arisen within the site over the past 18 months. Concerns were raised as a result of the training of welfare champions. The escalation process was followed and the team worked with the GLAA gaining valuable insight into the information to assist in the investigation. The implementations of the processes were shown to be efficient.
• Working with the GLAA, actions were carried out safely and in line with the advice from the authorities. This has given us confidence in the systems we have in place and the remediation process for supporting victims of modern slavery within the UK businesses." p.13

"3. EXTENDED AUDITING POLICIESCountries and regions of risk have been identified using documented data with a number of assessments trialled and introduced in China. This has been successful and proven to be more informative than worker interviews. For example an issue with delayed payments was identified, which otherwise had not reported in the standard audit process. This issue was immediately remedied by working with the supplier and factory to align the payments. All workers now receive the payment in a timely manner and this will continue to be monitored." p.18
