Modern Slavery Act Transparency Statement

Statement

This statement, made by Redline Presentation Solutions Ltd, recognises the importance and risk of modern slavery and is also in line with our compliance of meeting our obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

This statement set’s out our commitment to understand potential modern slavery risks related to our business together with our commitment to help eradicate slavery, or human trafficking, in our own business.

Introduction

"Modern slavery" is a term which covers slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking. It includes exercising ownership over a person; coercing or threatening someone to perform work they would not do voluntarily; and arranging or facilitating another person's travel with a view to them being exploited (even where the person consents to the travel).

Redline Presentation Solution Ltd aims to ensure that this issue is addressed within its business. This statement sets out the steps we are taking in developing our procedures and how we check our compliance.
