Introduction
Triskelion Associates is committed to ensuring that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in our business or in our supply chain. We recognise that slavery and human trafficking is a real yet hidden issue in our society. We will not tolerate slavery and human trafficking in our business or supply chain. 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 that any form of slavery is not taking place in our own business or supply chains.
Organisation's structure
We are a niche consultancy that provides support for leadership and management development, teamwork, business development and return on investment evaluation in the learning & development sector. Much of this is done through facilitation, mentoring and coaching. We are based in England and operate internationally.
Our business
Triskelion Associates (UK) Limited operates as one organisation employing two full time directors. When required we sub-contract professionally qualified associates to meet client needs related to particular projects, skill sets, personality profiles and scale. Our colleagues are like-minded people, in tune with our values and professional practices. Their feedback and evaluation of projects serves as an objective assessment of ways in which Triskelion can improve. In addition to our freelance associates, our supply chains include a range of indirect support services (e.g. printing, surveys, professional services) to support the services we in turn provide to our clients. These are managed locally in the UK.
Our policies
Triskelion Associates oppose all forms of slavery or human trafficking and we are committed to taking steps to ensure these do not occur in our business. We operate a number of internal practices that ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. These include:
Recruitment – we have a robust approach to recruitment which includes checking eligibility to work in the UK for any potential employees, associates or suppliers and safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will.
Whistleblowing – we ensure that all employees, associates and suppliers know that they can raise concerns about how colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear of reprisal.
Health and Safety –our approach is to ensure we provide a healthy working environment for our people and associates that work out of our premises or those premises of our clients and other third parties such as hotels or conference venues.
Alongside these we are committed to preventing harassment and bullying, bribery and corruption in all its forms.
Our supply chains
Our supply chains are based mainly in the UK but not exclusively and include suppliers of materials, services and equipment relating to running and supporting our programmes.
Our focus is to ensure that we engage with suppliers that adopt a similar approach to values and ethics and to ensure that we implement measures to that prevent slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.
Further steps
It is our ongoing intention to take the following steps to combat slavery and human trafficking:
1. risk assess all new suppliers and ask them to certify that they have taken steps to eradicate modern slavery within their own organisation and supply chain;
2. notify all existing suppliers of our expectations and their obligations in relation to the prohibition of modern slavery;
3. incorporate anti-slavery and human trafficking obligations into procurement agreements and subcontracting arrangements on a risk assessed basis;
4. include appropriate measures in our due diligence processes for sourcing suppliers, subcontractors on a risk assessed basis;
5. provide training to relevant employees and associates to ensure a high-level understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking; and
6. where appropriate we will include reference to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 in our policies and procedures.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our firm’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the current financial year.
