Modern Slavery Policy
Opening statement from senior management
The CPL Training Group is committed to preventing acts of modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within its business, and to communicate this policy throughout its supply chain.
Structure of the organisation
The CPL Training Group Limited is comprised of CPL Training Limited, abv training Limited and UK Legion Marketing Limited.
The commercial activities of the Group are principally the delivery of vocational training and qualifications (offline and online), software development, licensing services and sales and marketing services related to the sectors which we service.
Scope of the Modern Slavery Act 2015
The Act defines modern slavery as “slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour” and “human trafficking” (Modern Slavery). The Act requires commercial organisations operating in the UK (i.e. that supply goods or services from or to the UK) and have a global turnover above £36 million, to publish a statement each financial year, which sets out the steps they have taken to ensure there is no Modern Slavery in their business or supply chains. CPL Training Group’s combined turnover is below this limit, but we nevertheless published this Modern Slavery Policy and undertake to review it annually.
As part of our commitment to combating Modern Slavery, we have formulated this Modern Slavery policy.
- CPL Training Group operates a zero-tolerance approach to Modern Slavery in our organisation
- We will inform and highlight the steps that our staff can take if they are concerned about any such type of behaviour.
- We will also take steps to ensure that our suppliers are aware of our policy.
Our due diligence processes
Because of the skilled nature of the employment positions we offer, we consider the risk of Modern Slavery existing within our business to be low. Our focus is therefore on ensuring that people we recruit to our organisation have a right to work here and are doing so of their own volition. We operate a right to work check system, as detailed below:
Right to work check
- Any person who applies for employment with us is subject to a right to work check before a job offer is made to that person.
- This check ensures that we are compliant with the Immigration Act 2016, but also reduces the risk of employing a person who is the victim of forced or compulsory labour.
Application of the ‘PeopleSearch’ right to work check
We have developed ‘PeopleSearch’, a cloud-based system that enables us to verify the identity of job applicants and existing employees by checking the authenticity of the official documents the applicant provides as proof of identity. The system enables us to check that:
- The document is genuine, and
- That it relates to the person presenting it as a proof of identity
Through using this system, we can establish a ‘right to work’ in the UK for anyone identified as an EU citizen, and to check the authenticity of any work permit provided by an applicant from a non-EU country that gives them a right to reside and work in the UK. This reduces the risk of employing a person who has been trafficked or is working under duress.
Our supply chain
To deliver its services, the Group works with a small range of suppliers, all of whom are based in a low risk jurisdiction, i.e., the United Kingdom.
