ANTI-SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING POLICY

Modern slavery is a serious crime and a grave violation of fundamental human rights. It can manifest in various forms, including slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, debt bondage, and human trafficking.

Rollalong has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and is committed to conducting all aspects of its business with ethics, integrity, and transparency. We are dedicated to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place within our own operations or anywhere within our supply chains, in line with our obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

We expect the same high standards from all suppliers, contractors, consultants, agency providers, and other business partners. Our contractual arrangements include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, and we expect our suppliers to apply the same standards throughout their own supply chains.

Rollalong recognises that identifying victims of modern slavery can be complex, as exploitation may present in subtle or concealed forms. There can also be situations where poor working practices overlap with criminal exploitation. Rollalong therefore accepts its responsibility to undertake appropriate due diligence and employment controls to help identify, prevent and mitigate the risk of modern slavery within the business and its supply chains.

Scope

This policy applies to all individuals working for, on behalf of, or under the control of Rollalong, including:

• Employees
• Directors and Officers
• Agency workers
• Contractors
• Consultants
• Business partners
• Volunteers
• Apprentices
• Temporary workers
• Agents and suppliers

This policy applies to all business activities undertaken by Rollalong within the United Kingdom and overseas where applicable.

Roles and Responsibilities

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for ensuring that Rollalong complies with its legal and ethical obligations relating to modern slavery and human trafficking.

Human Resources is responsible for implementing this policy, monitoring its effectiveness, maintaining appropriate employment and right to work procedures, and investigating any concerns or suspected breaches.

Procurement and operational management teams are responsible for ensuring that supplier due diligence procedures are followed and that appropriate standards are maintained throughout the supply chain.

Line Managers are responsible for ensuring that employees within their teams understand and comply with this policy.

All individuals working for or on behalf of Rollalong are responsible for reading, understanding and complying with this policy and for reporting any concerns relating to modern slavery.

Due Diligence and Supply Chain Controls

Rollalong is committed to maintaining effective systems and controls to minimise the risk of modern slavery within its operations and supply chains.

As part of our due diligence processes, Rollalong may:

• Assess and review suppliers during onboarding and procurement activities
• Require suppliers and contractors to comply with applicable employment legislation and ethical standards
• Include anti-slavery and ethical compliance obligations within supplier and subcontractor agreements
• Undertake a risk-based approach to supplier assessment, particularly where labour-intensive activities, agency labour or higher-risk supply chains are involved
• Monitor supplier relationships and investigate concerns where identified
• Refuse to engage with, or terminate relationships with, organisations found to be involved in modern slavery or human trafficking

Rollalong recognises that the construction and manufacturing sectors may present elevated risks through subcontracted labour, agency workers and extended supply chains. However, the business considers its overall exposure to be relatively low due to the predominance of UK-based and established suppliers and ongoing management oversight.

Right to Work Checks and Employment Controls

Rollalong is committed to ensuring that all employees have the legal right to work in the UK and are employed in accordance with applicable immigration and employment legislation, including the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006.

As part of our recruitment and onboarding process:

• All prospective employees are required to provide valid documentation demonstrating their right to work in the UK prior to commencing employment
• Right to work checks are conducted in accordance with current Home Office guidance and statutory requirements
• Copies of right to work documentation are securely retained for the duration of employment and for a minimum of two years following the end of employment
• Recruitment processes are designed to ensure that all workers are employed voluntarily and are free from coercion, exploitation or unlawful treatment
• Rollalong does not retain original identity documents or impose recruitment fees on workers

These measures form part of Rollalong’s wider commitment to preventing modern slavery, illegal working and exploitation within its business operations and supply chains.

Training and Awareness

Rollalong is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks and ensuring that employees understand their responsibilities under this policy.

Relevant employees, including those involved in recruitment, procurement, operational management and supply chain activities, will receive appropriate guidance and awareness training relating to:

• Identifying indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking
• Reporting concerns or suspected breaches
• Understanding responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act 2015
• Ethical employment and supply chain practices

Training and awareness activities may be updated periodically to reflect changes in legislation, business operations or identified risks.

Compliance and Reporting

Preventing, identifying and reporting modern slavery is the responsibility of all individuals working for Rollalong or under its control, whether in the UK or abroad.

Individuals must avoid any activity that could breach this policy or contribute to modern slavery practices.

Any employee or worker who knows or suspects that modern slavery or human trafficking is taking place, or may take place, must report their concerns immediately to their line manager, Human Resources, or in accordance with the Company’s Disclosures in the Public Interest (Whistleblowing) Policy.

If an individual is uncertain whether a particular act, treatment or working condition constitutes modern slavery, they are encouraged to raise concerns in good faith.

Concerns may also be reported confidentially to the Modern Slavery Helpline on 0800 0121 700.

Rollalong promotes a culture of openness and transparency. No individual who raises a genuine concern in good faith will suffer retaliation, victimisation or detrimental treatment, even where concerns are ultimately unfounded.

Monitoring and Effectiveness

Rollalong will monitor the effectiveness of this policy through management oversight, recruitment controls, supplier engagement and internal reporting procedures.

The Company will review any reported concerns, monitor compliance with employment and procurement procedures, and take appropriate corrective action where required.

Rollalong aims to continuously improve its processes to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within its business and supply chains.

Breach of Policy

Any employee found to have breached this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including summary dismissal for gross misconduct.

Rollalong may also terminate business relationships with any supplier, contractor, consultant or business partner found to be in breach of this policy or involved in modern slavery or human trafficking activities.

Policy Review
This policy will be reviewed annually and updated where necessary to reflect changes in legislation, organisational structure, operational activities or identified risks.
