Physiological Measurements Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction

Physiological Measurements is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. This statement outlines the steps we have taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our supply chains or in any part of our business.

Our Business

Physiological Measurements is a community diagnostics provider working in collaboration with the NHS. We employ approximately 150 people across various roles within our Organisation.

Our Policies

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. Our policies reflect our commitment to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our supply chains. As such, we have an Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy that is accessible by all staff.

Our Supply Chains

We understand the importance of transparency in our supply chains. We conduct due diligence on our suppliers to ensure that they share our commitment to preventing modern slavery, and we expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers, and partners.

Training and Awareness

We provide training to our employees in the form of E-Learning to ensure they understand the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. This training enables them to identify and prevent any potential issues.

Reporting Concerns

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and customers to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking. We have established channels for reporting, and all concerns are thoroughly investigated.

Risks and Mitigation

• Pre-Employment Checks: We conduct pre-employment checks on all employees and we only work with reputable agencies who are subject to the same high standard. All agencies we work with share our commitment to the prevention of Modern slavery.
  
  
• Supply Chain Assessment: Any suppliers or partners we work with must confirm their compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
  
  
• Supplier Audits: We conduct periodic audits of our suppliers to ensure compliance with our anti-slavery and human trafficking policies.
  
  
• Employee Empowerment: We empower our employees to voice concerns and report potential issues related to modern slavery without fear of reprisal. We maintain open communication channels to address concerns promptly.
  
  
• Whistle Blowing Procedures: PML has a clear Whistleblowing policy and procedure that is accessible to all staff. Staff understand how to identify and report any concerns that may relate to modern slavery. Likewise staff can contact our nominated Freedom to speak up guardian.
