Modern Slavery Statement

For financial year 2024 to 2025

This statement is made pursuant to section 54 Transparency in supply chains of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Dynamic Training UK Ltd has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.

Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced and compulsory labour. Dynamic Training UK Ltd has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.

Any employee in breach of this policy will face disciplinary action which could result in dismissal.

Our business

Dynamic Training UK Ltd was established in 2007 by a team of directors with over 20 years’ experience of successfully managing employment, training & qualification programmes. We now employ over 50 staff across England.

We offer a range of training services including business, Childcare, Health, Health and Social Care and Management related apprenticeships, pre-employment training & recruitment services for employers.

Our high risk areas

Dynamic Training UK Ltd has not identified any areas of its direct business where there is a high risk of modern slavery, however we do acknowledge through the diverse range of customers we engage with and the recruitment and placement of learners onto apprenticeship programmes there is risk of these customers being involved in Modern Slavery.

Our steps to mitigate this risk is through:

• Embedding training to our apprentices and their employers through our British Values training activity, a mandatory component of every apprenticeship programme that we deliver.
• A whistleblowing policy for both staff and apprentices that includes Modern Slavery.

Our policies

We operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. These include:

• Modern Slavery This policy sets out the organisation’s stance on modern slavery and explains how employees can identify any instances of this and where they can go for help.
• Recruitment policy. We operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will.
• Whistleblowing policy. We operate a whistleblowing policy so that all employees know that they can raise concerns about how colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear of reprisals and how to raise such concerns including identification of modern slavery.
• Code of Business Conduct. This code explains the manner in which we behave as an organisation and how we expect our employees and suppliers to act.

• Safeguarding policy – on identifying and responding to concerns regarding the safeguarding and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults that includes support for victims if a case of moderns slaver was discovered via our business and/ or supply chains.

Our suppliers

Dynamic Training UK Ltd maintains a preferred supplier list. We conduct due diligence on all suppliers before allowing them to become a preferred supplier. This due diligence includes an online search to ensure that particular organisation has never been convicted of offenses relating to modern slavery [and on site audits which include a review of working conditions]. Our anti-slavery policy forms part of our contract with all suppliers and they are required to confirm that no part of their business operations contradicts this policy.

In addition to the above, as part of our contract with suppliers, we require that they confirm to us that:

• They have taken steps to eradicate modern slavery within their business.
• They hold their own suppliers to account over modern
• (For UK based suppliers) They pay their employees at least the national minimum wage / national living wage (as appropriate).
• (For international suppliers) They pay their employees any prevailing minimum wage applicable within their country of operations.

We will terminate the contract at any time should any instances of modern slavery come to light.
