you feel unable to speak to your line manager or the Director of Finance about your concerns then we would encourage you to still report the matter in accordance with our Whistleblowing Policy.
BMJ Group’s commitment to you
We aim to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken. We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting, in good faith, their suspicion that slavery or human trafficking is (or may be) taking place. Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable treatment connected with raising a concern. If you believe that you have suffered any such treatment, you should inform our Director of People and Transformation immediately.
Our legal obligations
Under UK law, slavery, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking are criminal offences. Large companies like BMJ Group with a global turnover above £36 million are legally required to publish a slavery and human trafficking statement on their website each financial year. For more information about the steps we have taken to ensure there is no slavery or human trafficking in our business or supply chains you can view our most recent Anti Slavery & Anti Human Trafficking Statement here. This Statement has been approved by our Board of Directors. For further information please contact our Director of Finance.
Communication of this policy and our requirements
Training on this policy, and on the risk our business faces from slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains, is made available to employees who work for us. Our zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption must be communicated to all suppliers, contractors and business partners at the outset of any business relationship with them and reinforced as appropriate thereafter.
