Our  Policies

Our  legal  responsibilities  under  the  varied  acts  and  regulations  that  as  an  employment  agency  /employment  business  we  are  required  to  comply  with,  form  the  basis  for  our  policies  and  procedures  and  serve  to  reinforce  what  we  consider  to  be  a  moral  code  of  conduct  that  should  be  applied  at  all  times  in  every  aspect  of  our  business. 

These  policies  include: 

Ethical  Trading  Policy  Whistleblowing  and  Public  Interest  Disclosure  Policy  Health  &  Safety  Policy  Anti  Bribery  and Corruption  Policy  Policies  are  developed  by  the  Human  Resources  Department  and  authorised    by  the  Board  of Directors.    All  policies  are  reviewed  on  an  annual  basis  or  as  necessary  pending  legal  requirements.                 

Our  Supply  Chain

In  order  to  assess  the  risk  of  modern  slavery,  we  use  the  following  processes  with  our  suppliers:  

• When  engaging  with  suppliers,  we  ask  for  evidence  of  their  processes  and  policies,  including  commitments  around  modern  slavery,  human  trafficking,  forced  labour,  human  rights,  and  whistle-blowing. 
• We  conduct  audits  before  entering  into  a  commercial  relationship  with  any  business  where  there  is  the  potential  for  risk.  These  audited  businesses  form  the  basis  of  our  preferred  supplier  list. 
• We  review  the  potential  for  risk  at  regular  intervals,  including  the  possibility  of  re-auditing  a  supplier  or  conducting  spot  checks. 

Our  Training

All  of  our  staff  receive  training  and  support  that  is  appropriate  to  their  role.   

In  particular: 

• All  operational  staff  undertake  specific  recruitment  process  training  that  includes: Checking  Right  to  Work  in  the  UK, Discrimination  in  Recruitment, Modern  slavery  and  human  trafficking.
• All  of  our  staff  receive  awareness-raising  information  around  issues  involving  modern  slavery  and  human  trafficking, so  that  they  can  bring  any  concerns  they  have  to  the  attention  of  management. 

Future  Steps  and  Review

Capstone  believes  in  seeking  continuous  improvement  opportunities  to  raising  standards.  We  will  look  to  develop  our policies,  procedures  and  training  to  support  our  corporate  and  individual  social  responsibilities.
