The Formal
Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement

At DAY & KNIGHT we are committed to developing and adopting a proactive approach to tackling hidden labour exploitation.

Our Business

Our business, DAY & KNIGHT, consists of a Head Office and Manufacturing Facilities in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.

Organisation’s Structure

We are a manufacturer and installer of fitted bedrooms, fitted home offices and fitted kitchens. DAY & KNIGHT has its Head office in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and employ 10 people. We are not based, nor do we have any operations, in any country outside of the UK.

Our Supply Chains

Our supply chain partners are predominantly based in the UK but do include suppliers from across Europe and Asia.

Our Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Anti-slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity for all our business relationships. This includes implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place. Either at DAY & KNIGHT or any where in our supply chains.

Due Diligence Process For Slavery and Human Trafficking

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we have:

  • 1. Put in place a policy on slavery and human trafficking
  • 2. The Company will not use any individual or organisation to source and supply workers without confirming that workers are not being charged a work finding fee.
  • 3. Ensure that labour sourcing, recruitment and worker placement processes are under the control of trusted and competent staff members.
  • 4. Adopt a proactive approach to reporting suspicions of hidden worker exploitation to the police.
  • 5. Encourage workers to report cases of hidden third party labour exploitation, provide the means to do so and investigate and act on reports appropriately.
  • 6. Require labour providers and other organisations in the labour supply chain to adopt policies and procedures consistent with the above.

Responsibility

The Directors has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations and that all those under our control comply with it.

Management at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and comply with this policy.

Further Steps

Following a review of the effectiveness of the steps we have taken this year to ensure that here is no slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain relating to workers we intend to continue to focus during the next year on our wider supply chain.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54 (1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our company’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending April 2021.
