Velo Events Modern Slavery Policy

---

This statement relates to Section 54 of the  Modern Slavery Act (2015) and sets out the steps that Velo Events Ltd  (VELO Events) have taken, and will continue to take, to  ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place  within our organisation and commissioned services.

Modern  slavery encompasses slavery and human trafficking, forced labour and  domestic servitude. Traffickers and slavers use whatever means they have  at their disposal to coerce, deceive and force individuals into a life  of abuse, servitude and inhumane treatment.

VELO Events  have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of abuse and thus modern  slavery is incorporated within safeguarding work. 

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.

Through  the implementation of robust Human Resources and Recruitment Policies  and Procedures VELO Events ensures that comprehensive checks are in place to  negate the likelihood of individuals being employed by Velo Events who have  been trafficked or who are the victims of modern slavery. These include  references, occupational health checks, DBS checks, immigration and  identity checks for all employees and contractors.
