This statement, made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern
Slavery Act 2015, sets out the approach taken by Community Care Gaming to understand all
potential modern slavery risks related to our supply chains and our Community
Interest Company, and the actions undertaken to mitigate any such risks.
Our Business and Supply Chains
About us
Community Care Gaming is a passionate advocate of emerging technology
and is committed to working alongside the digital entertainment sectors to
ensure the experience is open, inclusive and positive for all consumers
and stakeholders.
Our commitment Community Care Gaming is committed to delivering high standards of
corporate governance and a key element of this is managing the company in a
socially responsible way. Through Community Care Gaming’s Governance Handbook we aim to
minimise the negative effect it may have on the environment, reduce risk and
increase Community Care Gaming’s long-term social impact and efficiency. In addition, the
company aims to employ high ethical and professional standards and always to
comply with all local laws and regulations applicable to our business; it
follows that Community Care Gaming is absolutely committed to preventing slavery and human
trafficking in its corporate activities and its supply chains. This commitment
is emphasised in our employee training programmes and company policies.
Internal policies Good corporate citizenship and governance transparency are
important parts of our identity, both as an employer and as a not-for-profit
organisation.
We aim to provide a rewarding working environment in which
people are valued and respected. We have a strong commitment to diversity and
inclusion and look after the well-being of our people, ensuring that they are
safe, well and appropriately cared for. Our Governance Handbook and Governance
Tab on our website contain policies on the health, safety and security of
staff, and Community Care Gaming provides support to our employees in relation to stress
and mental health.
Supply chains and Due Diligence Community Care Gaming also expects the same high standards which we set
for ourselves from those parties with whom we engage, such as our suppliers and
customers.
Our supply chain consists of funding providers, legal firms,
charities, Local Authorities, government and regulatory bodies, IT software and
equipment providers, training providers and office product suppliers. We are
engaged with a number of partnerships all of which go through a process of due
diligence before being allowed to do business with us.
In addition, all other suppliers are required to go through
an on-boarding process which ensures approval is obtained from the executive or
board before engagement. They are expected to complete a due diligence
questionnaire which is reviewed along with company account information to
assess their financial stability and ensure they have appropriate policies in
place for safeguarding their employees and our data.
Risk areas and effectiveness of our practices and
processes Due to the nature of our not-for-profit organisation and our
approach to governance, we assess that there is a very low risk of slavery and
human trafficking in our business and supply chains. However, we aim to
periodically review the effectiveness of the relevant policies and procedures
that we have in place to make improvements necessary to eradicate modern
slavery and human trafficking from our business and our supply chains. We do
not have key performance indicators in relation to slavery or human trafficking
as any instance would be expected to be a breach of law, our supplier standards
and/or our company policies. However we monitor this via our organisational
risk assessment which is reviewed at each board meeting and published on our
website.
