Dr. Yusra acknowledges the severity of modern slavery and human trafficking and is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. This statement is made in line with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and represents our clinic’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the current financial year.
Our approach is to ensure a high level of awareness and to implement effective systems and controls to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within our own operations or our supply chain.
Organisation Structure
We are a leading health and wellness clinic in the UK, dedicated to providing exceptional medical and wellness services. Our commitment extends beyond the provision of healthcare services to ensuring that our business practices reflect our ethical stance and dedication to human rights.
Our Commitment
In recognising the significant responsibility we bear to ensure our clinic and supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking, Dr. Yusra Clinic has taken a proactive stance. We are devoted to continuously reviewing and improving our practices, ensuring transparency in our operations, and working only with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical business practices.
Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking
To identify and mitigate risk, Dr. Yusra has put in place a series of due diligence processes. These include conducting audits of our suppliers to ensure compliance with our ethics, providing training to our staff to help them recognise and respond to signs of slavery and human trafficking, and implementing a supplier code of conduct that demands compliance with national and international laws against slavery and human trafficking. Through these measures, we aim to maintain a high level of vigilance and responsiveness to any potential issues within our clinic and broader supply chain.
Supplier Adherence to Our Values
With a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking, we expect all entities within our supply chain to comply with our values.
We have established a supply chain compliance programme managed by a dedicated team, drawing members from various departments including Human Resources, Legal, and Procurement. This team is responsible for ensuring that our suppliers live up to our high standards of ethical conduct.
Training
Understanding the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and business is crucial. Dr. Yusra Clinic provides training to staff to ensure they have a high level of awareness of these issues. We also require our business partners to train their staff and suppliers, ensuring a broad-based approach to combating modern slavery.
Our Effectiveness in Combating Slavery and Human Trafficking
To assess the effectiveness of our efforts to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or supply chains, Dr. Yusra Clinic employs various key performance indicators (KPIs). These KPIs include the completion of supplier audits, the utilisation of labour monitoring and payroll systems, and the level of staff participation in training programmes.
Further Steps
After reviewing the effectiveness of the steps taken this year to ensure our operations and supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking, Dr. Yusra Clinic plans to further enhance our due diligence processes, increase awareness-raising activities, and strengthen our supplier engagement and auditing processes. These actions demonstrate our ongoing commitment to improving our practices and ensuring our operations remain ethically sound.
