ANTI-SLAVERY POLICY STATEMENT

​

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes the slavery and human trafficking statement for Cash Inn Ltd and the steps taken to ensure that Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chains. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.

 

Cash Inn Ltd has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.

 

Our Business

 

Cash Inn Ltd is a financial service provider which also retails pre-owned jewellery. The company has a relatively straight forward supply chain compared to other businesses, with most products/services being supplied that relate to jewellery, stationery, marketing materials and security systems from within the UK. To ensure all those in our supply chain and contractors comply with our values we ensure wherever possible that agreements with third parties require the third party to comply with all relevant anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation. We also request suppliers to agree to our Supplier Standards which sets out that suppliers must have effective systems and controls in place to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in their business or any of their supply chain.

 

Policies

 

Cash Inn Ltd has established policies within the business to ensure no Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking occurs in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy reflects our commitment to acting with integrity and ethically in all our business relationships, and implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains

 

We are also committed to ensuring there is transparency in our own business and in our approach to tackling modern slavery throughout our supply chains, consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

 

This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, shop workers and business partners. Cash Inn Ltd has a dedicated Compliance team that handles issues from Legal, Audit, Human Resources and Procurement departments.
