Introduction

PAEVOR Institute CLG is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity.

Training

We provide training to relevant staff on modern slavery awareness and our policies. This includes staff involved in procurement, HR, and partner management.
