Complaints

MoreLife is committed to delivering the best possible service to its clients. The staff and management are accountable to clients, client representatives, commissioning authorities and the local community in delivering services of the highest standard.

From time to time things may not run as smoothly as they should and sometimes misunderstandings occur. Left unresolved a small difficulty can become a serious issue, which is something we all want to avoid. It is very important that any concerns are raised as quickly as possible. Most complaints can and should be dealt with immediately, as it is often very difficult to make a judgement on a matter some weeks later.

Modern Slavery

Introduction

This policy sets out MoreLife’s approach to identifying and managing all potential modern
slavery risks related to its business and establishing protocols intended to prevent modern
slavery or human trafficking.
MoreLife recognises that it has a responsibility to take a zero-tolerance approach to modern
slavery and human trafficking, by ensuring that its organisation and supply chain is free from
such activity. To this end, MoreLife has set out the activities that it will undertake during this
financial year.

Organisational structure and supply chains

This policy sets out MoreLife’s approach to identifying and managing all potential modern
slavery risks related to its business and establishing protocols intended to prevent modern
slavery or human trafficking.

This statement covers the activities of MoreLife and its operations in the United Kingdom.
MoreLife operates a local and regional supply chain with a preference for long-term business
relationships.
MoreLife’s aim is to improve performance by embedding risk management into the core of
what we do ensuring it is key to our corporate strategy. This applies to our Modern Slavery
Policy which allows the business to support sound decision-making both internally and across
our supply chain.
MoreLife has assessed the following activities and considers them to be potentially high risk
of slavery and human trafficking:
Supplier Due Diligence – The process by which MoreLife requests evidence from suppliers to
support their conformity to the Modern Slavery Law.
Negotiation and Contracting – The assessment process to ensure contractor commitment to
meet the set of rules and regulations required to work with MoreLife.
Supplier Management – The process of managing interactions with contractors who supply
goods and/or services to MoreLife.

Responsibility

Responsibilities for the MoreLife anti-slavery initiatives are as follows:
Policies: HR, Finance and Operations teams are responsible for putting in place and reviewing
this policy statement and the process by which it has been developed.
Risk assessment: A human rights and modern slavery risk analysis is undertaken as a
structured, controlled and coordinated process. Risk reporting is built on existing departmental
level reporting and is discussed and reviewed as part of our risk management strategy.
Where risks are deemed significantly important, they are escalated in accordance with
corporate procedures and reviewed for impact against the corporate strategy:
Investigations/due diligence: As part of the MoreLife due diligence process Finance reviews
supplier and contractor human rights and modern slavery controls at the point of engagement.
Thereafter MoreLife continues to monitor compliance against suppliers at predetermined
intervals once a business relationship has been established. Where suppliers and contractors
fail to provide evidence of compliance they are removed from the preferred supplied list with
immediate effect.
Training: MoreLife is committed to providing modern slavery awareness training for staff.

Relevant Policies

MoreLife operates the following policies that describe its approach to the identification of
modern slavery risks and steps to be taken to prevent slavery and human trafficking in its
operations:
Whistleblowing policy – MoreLife encourages all its staff and workers, customers, and other
business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities, or the supply chains
of MoreLife. This includes any circumstances that may give rise to an enhanced risk of slavery
or human trafficking. MoreLife’s whistleblowing procedure is designed to make it easy for
workers to make disclosures, without fear of retaliation.
Staff code of conduct – The MoreLife code of conduct makes it clear to staff the behaviour
expected of them. MoreLife strives to maintain the highest standards of conduct and ethical
behaviour when operating in the UK and abroad and managing its supply chain.
The Procurement code of conduct – MoreLife is committed to ensuring that its suppliers
adhere to the highest standards of ethics. Suppliers are required to demonstrate that they
provide safe working conditions where necessary, treat workers with dignity and respect, and
act ethically and within the law in their use of labour. MoreLife works with suppliers to ensure
they meet the standards of the code and improve their staff working conditions. However,
serious violations of MoreLife’s supplier code of conduct will lead to the termination of the
business relationship. The following process and steps will be taken to implement the code of
conduct in relation to slavery and human trafficking, including examples where action has
been taken to address specific slavery and human trafficking risks.
The Recruitment policy – MoreLife uses only specified, reputable employment agencies to
source prospective staff and always verifies the practices of any new agency it is using before
accepting workers from that agency.

Due Diligence

MoreLife undertakes due diligence when considering taking on new suppliers, and regularly
reviews its existing suppliers. MoreLife’s due diligence and reviews include:
Evaluating the modern slavery and human trafficking risks of each new supplier.
Conducting supplier audits or assessments through, which have a greater degree of focus on
slavery and human trafficking where general risks are identified.
Participating in collaborative initiatives focused on human rights in general, and slavery and
human trafficking.

Performance Indicators

MoreLife has reviewed its key performance indicators (KPIs) in light of the introduction of the
Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Training

MoreLife requires all staff within the organisation to complete e-learning training on modern
slavery and trafficking as a module within MoreLife’s Virtual College training programme.
Reference to Modern Slavery is also contained within the staff handbook which is updated on
a regular basis.
