MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT 

Introduction  

Modern slavery is a heinous crime and a morally reprehensible act that deprives a person's liberty and dignity for another person's gain. At Attika Solutions Ltd, we have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are fully committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operation and supply chain.

Our business 

We establish a relationship of trust and integrity with all our suppliers, which is built upon mutually beneficial factors. Our supplier selection and on-boarding procedure includes due diligence of the supplier's reputation, respect for the law, compliance with health, safety and environmental standards, and references.  We haven't been made aware of any allegations of human trafficking/slavery activities against any of our suppliers, but if we were, then we would act immediately against the supplier and report it to the authorities.

We act as the “main vendor”, and we will work with other vendors that provide workers to hiring companies. Some specialists might work via their limited companies. Others might be introduced to us from other businesses that accommodate such hiring. Some of the specialists might apply directly to our published adverts. All of the hired specialists are identified by our employees and apply are policies and legal requirements to ensure sound hiring processes.
