Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Expert Medical Examination Ltd (“we”, “our”, “us”) opposes modern slavery and human trafficking in all their forms. This is a voluntary statement of our position. It sets out the principles we work to and the steps we take to reduce the risk of modern slavery occurring in our business or in our supply chain.

1. Introduction and purpose

Modern slavery covers slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. It is a criminal offence and a serious abuse of a person’s rights and freedom. We will not knowingly work with any organisation or individual involved in these practices.

We publish this statement so that clients, suppliers, medical experts and members of the public can see where we stand. It is not a claim about the scale of our operations or a report of formal audit findings. It is a statement of our commitments and of the expectations we place on the people and organisations we work with.

2. Our organisation and supply chain

We are an independent medical reporting organisation (MRO). We arrange independent medical examinations and produce medico-legal reports for solicitors, insurers and other instructing parties across England and Wales. Our operations are office-based and largely digital, with reports produced and delivered electronically.

Our supply chain is made up mainly of:

• Medical experts: Doctors, consultants and allied health professionals who carry out examinations and write reports, working as regulated clinicians in the United Kingdom.
• Examination venues: Clinics, consulting rooms and other venues where examinations take place.
• Diagnostic providers: Imaging and testing providers who support the reporting process.
• Professional and IT services suppliers: Accountants, legal advisers, insurers, software and hosting providers, and other business services.

3. Our policies and principles

We are committed to acting ethically, lawfully and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, and we expect the same of the organisations and individuals we work with.

Our approach reflects the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. In practice this means:

• We do not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking anywhere in our business or supply chain.
• We aim to treat everyone who works with us or for us fairly, and to pay lawfully and on the agreed terms.
• We expect our suppliers and contractors to apply equivalent standards within their own organisations and supply chains.
• Where we identify a credible concern, we will act on it, and we will end a relationship where a supplier is unwilling to put matters right.

4. Risk and due diligence approach

We consider the risk of modern slavery within our own operations and supply chain to be low. Our work is professional and office-based, it is carried out in the United Kingdom, and the clinicians who deliver examinations are qualified professionals regulated by bodies such as the General Medical Council. We do not manufacture goods and we do not rely on high-risk labour markets.

A low assessed risk does not remove the need for care. Our approach when engaging suppliers is to:

• Consider the nature of the supplier, the work involved and the country in which it is carried out.
• Prefer established suppliers who operate under recognised professional or regulatory standards.
• Raise questions where a supply arrangement, a rate or a working practice does not look right.
• Keep this risk assessment under review as our business and supplier base change.

5. Supplier expectations

We expect every supplier, contractor and expert who works with us to:

• Comply with all applicable employment, immigration and health and safety law.
• Ensure that all work is freely chosen, with no forced, bonded or compulsory labour.
• Employ no child labour, and meet the minimum age requirements that apply in their jurisdiction.
• Allow workers to leave their employment freely after reasonable notice, and not to withhold identity documents, wages or deposits as a means of keeping them.
• Pay at or above the applicable legal minimum, and provide clear terms of engagement.
• Take equivalent steps with their own suppliers and subcontractors.

Where we have reason to believe an expectation is not being met, we will raise it with the supplier and seek evidence that the position has been corrected.

6. Raising a concern

Anyone can raise a concern with us about modern slavery or human trafficking, whether they are a member of staff, an expert, a supplier, a claimant, an instructing party or a member of the public.

• Email: info@expertmedical.co.uk
• Phone: 0203 8233 222
• Post: Expert Medical Examination Ltd, Allied House, 29-39 London Road, Twickenham, TW1 3SZ

Concerns are taken seriously and are treated confidentially so far as the law allows. Nobody who raises a genuine concern in good faith will be penalised for doing so. Where a concern suggests that a criminal offence may have been committed, we will report it to the appropriate authorities.

You can also contact the Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline on 08000 121 700, or the police on 101. If someone is in immediate danger, call 999.

7. Awareness

We are committed to making our staff aware of modern slavery risks, so that they understand what modern slavery is, recognise the warning signs that can appear in a supply chain, and know how to report a concern internally.

Awareness is treated as part of how we induct new staff and how we brief the people responsible for engaging suppliers and experts.

8. Review and approval

We review this statement periodically and update it where our business, our supply chain or the law changes. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised date.

This statement should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and our Complaints Policy.

This statement is approved by the directors of Expert Medical Examination Ltd.
