Our policies
We operate many internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. These include:
1. Anti-slavery policy This policy sets out the organisation’s stance on modern slavery and explains how employees can identify any instances of this and where they can go for help.
2. Recruitment policy. We operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will.
3. Whistleblowing policy. We operate a whistleblowing policy so that all employees know that they can raise concerns about how colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear of reprisals.
4. Code of business conduct. This code explains the way we behave as an organisation and how we expect our employees and suppliers to act.

Our Clients

Dome Recruitment conducts due diligence on all Clients before becoming a supplier for them. This due diligence includes an online search to ensure that organisation has never been convicted of offenses relating to modern slavery. Our anti-slavery policy forms part of our contract with all Clients and they are required to confirm that no part of their business operations contradicts this policy. In addition to the above, as part of our contract with Clients, we require that they confirm to us that:
1. They have taken steps to eradicate modern slavery within their business
2. They hold their own suppliers to account over modern slavery
3. (For UK based suppliers) They pay their employees at least the national minimum wage / national living wage (as appropriate)
4. We may terminate the contract at any time should any instances of modern slavery come to light
Training

We regularly conduct training for our Recruitment teams so that they understand the signs of modern slavery and what to do if they suspect that it is taking place within our supply chain.
