Due Diligence Processes
Make Consulting are committed to ensuring that all the suppliers that we work with adhere to the same ethics in terms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We have now introduced new checks within our supplier questionnaire in order to check that all new suppliers confirm adherence to the aforementioned policies.
The risks of working with each supplier is evaluated on a supplier by supplier basis and will be challenged accordingly. Existing suppliers are required to send in their updated references, experience and insurances on an annual basis for review.
Training
We ensure that training is covered with all staff members during staff inductions and in addition, this will now be covered annually via policy review and annual statements.
