Policies
Modern slavery statement.
The steps we take to make sure slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or the businesses we work with.
1. Introduction
- 1.1
Roberts Crawford has a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are not required to publish a statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 because of our size, but we publish this one voluntarily.
2. Our business
- 2.1
Roberts Crawford is a trading name of AMS Administration Ltd, a private limited company providing legal services to artists, musicians, managers and other creative businesses from England and Wales. Our suppliers are mainly providers of software, office services, hosting and professional services, most of them based in the UK.
3. Our policies
- 3.1
This statement sits alongside our equality and diversity and safeguarding policies. Everyone working for us is paid at least the National Living Wage or a fair fee for their work, and we do not use unpaid internships.
4. Due diligence and risk
- 4.1
We consider our direct risk to be low. The higher risk lies in the wider music and events industry, for example in touring, hospitality and the treatment of young or overseas performers.
- 4.2
Where, in the course of our work, we see signs that a performer or worker is being exploited, we will raise it with our client and, where appropriate, report it to the Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline or the police.
- 4.3
We expect our suppliers to meet the same standards and may end a relationship with any supplier found to be involved in slavery or trafficking.
5. Training and reporting
- 5.1
Everyone working for us is made aware of this statement at induction and knows to report concerns to a director. Concerns can be raised in confidence and nobody will suffer for raising one in good faith.
- 5.2
The Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline is available on 08000 121 700.
6. Approval and review
- 6.1
This statement was approved by the directors of AMS Administration Ltd and is signed by Ben Marshall, Director. It is reviewed every year.
