Modern Slavery Statement 

​

Community Matters Partnership (CMP) is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), charity number 1182467.

 

The object of the charity is to relieve poverty, advance health, advance education, advance community development, promote equality and diversity and further other charitable purposes.  This is beneficial to the public by promoting volunteering and the practical interest and involvement of companies, firms, voluntary organisations, local authorities and individuals in such purposes particularly in the communities in which they have operational interests. 

​

The Modern Slavery Act 2015 came into effect on 29th October 2015. This law requires manufacturers and retailers doing business in the UK, which supply goods or services and have an annual turnover exceeding £36 million to disclose information regarding their policies to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chain and within their business.  

​

Whilst CMP is not required to provide a Modern Slavery Statement, we take our responsibility in this area very seriously, and as such have willingly provided this Statement in line with the reasonable expectations of many of the organisations with which we work on a regular basis to confirm our ongoing compliance with this important legislation. 

​

Whilst CMP has assessed that it has a very low risk of exposure to any suppliers who engage in activities which relate to or involve human trafficking or slavery, we maintain high ethical values and principles with which we expect our suppliers and partners to adhere.  

  

CMP will not engage with any organisation that is not fully compliant with the Modern Slavery Act. 

 

Approved by the CMP Board of Trustees
