Modern Slavery Act

BumbleBee Education Ltd is committed to eliminating modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and similar human rights abuses. 

BumbleBee Education Ltd is committed to ensuring that its staff and any workers it supplies (directly or indirectly) are not subject to behaviour or threats that may amount to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and similar human rights abuses. 

BumbleBee Education Ltd provides appropriate training and awareness information for all of its staff. 
In particular:

  • All of our staff receive awareness-raising information around issues involving modern slavery and human trafficking, so that they can bring any concerns they have to the attention of management.

Any staff, workers or other parties are strongly encouraged to report any concerns or suspicions that they might have to [identify an appropriate contact(s), by name or by role].

Reports surrounding these issues are taken extremely seriously by our board of directors who are committed to ensuring that all investigations shall be prompt and effective. If our investigations reveal any issues, we are committed to taking appropriate action, including but not limited to:

As part of our efforts in this area, we publish a modern slavery statement on an annual basis.

We would also recommend reading this in conjunction with our other policies, including our:

    • Anti-bribery / corruption policy

Our Processes for Managing Risk

In order to assess the risk of modern slavery, we use the following processes with our suppliers:

  • We conduct audits before entering into a commercial relationship with any business where there is the potential for risk. These audited businesses form the basis of our preferred supplier list.
  • We review the potential for risk at regular intervals, including the possibility of re-auditing a supplier or conducting spot checks.

After due consideration, we have not identified any significant risks of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in our supply chain.  However, we continue to be alert to the potential for problems. 

Additionally, we have taken the following steps to minimise the possibility of any problems:

  • We require the businesses we work with to abide by our code of supplier conduct / address modern slavery concerns in their policies / publish a modern slavery statement.
  • We collaborate with our suppliers in order to improve standards and transparency across our supply chain.
  • We ensure that all of our suppliers are members of appropriate industry bodies and working groups.

Our staff are encouraged to bring any concerns they have to the attention of management.

Our Performance

As part of monitoring the performance of BumbleBee Education we track the following general key performance indicators: 

  • The level of training amongst your staff,
  • The speed with which you investigate related complaints, and the effectiveness of any whistle-blowing procedures, and/or
  • The level of compliance and transparency you have established in your supply chain.

Based on the potential risks we have identified, we have also established the following key performance indicators, which are regularly assessed by our board of directors:

  • the percentage of suppliers who sign up to an appropriate code / provide their own modern slavery statements
  • the percentage of [workers and/or candidates] supplied from audited businesses / our preferred supplier list
  • the effectiveness of enforcement against suppliers who breach policies
  • the amount of time spent on audits, re-audits, spot checks, and related due diligence
  • the level of modern slavery training and awareness amongst our staff

We benchmark our indicators against industry best-practice / discuss our indicators with suppliers / carefully consider our indicators, in order to ensure that we do not put undue pressure on our suppliers that might increase the potential for risk.

  • All of our staff receive awareness-raising information around issues involving modern slavery and human trafficking, so that they can bring any concerns they have to the attention of management.
