   • Recruitment Policy: We operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK and background employment checks.
   • Whistleblowing policy: We operate a whistleblowing policy so that all employees know that they can raise concerns about how colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear of reprisals.
   • Code of Business Conduct: This Code explains the manner in which we behave as an organisation and how we expect our employees, volunteers and suppliers to act.
