Modern Slavery Statement

Spark UK Medical Limited ("the Company", "we", "us" or "our") is committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking violations in its own operations, its supply chain, and its products. We have zero-tolerance towards slavery and require our supply chain to comply with our values.

Spark UK Medical Limited has business operations in the United Kingdom. We operate in the private medical sector. We work with a number of NHS trusts and event providers to provide ambulance and event medical cover.

We operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner:

Recruitment and selection policy — ensuring all staff have the correct documentation, checks and qualifications to provide safe, effective care.

Whistleblowing policy — ensuring all staff can raise concerns in the workplace with confidence that the concern will be fully investigated.

Staff code of conduct — staff adhere to our TEAM values, placing patient-centred care at the heart of everything we do.

Safeguarding policy — providing support and guidance when raising a safeguarding concern, with clear step-by-step instructions and contact details.

We make sure our suppliers are aware of our policies and adhere to the same standards.

As part of our efforts to monitor and reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains, we have adopted external supplier audits. Our due diligence procedures aim to identify and action potential risks, monitor potential risks, reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking, and provide protection for whistleblowers.

The Company has evaluated the nature and extent of its exposure to the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in its UK supply chain through regular review of all aspects of the supply chain based on supply chain mapping. We do not consider that we operate in a high-risk environment because the majority of our supply chain is based in the UK and in low-risk industries. We do not tolerate slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains; where there is evidence of failure to comply, we will require that supplier to remedy the non-compliance.

The Company uses Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure its effectiveness: we will contact suppliers to enquire about their modern slavery practices every 6 months, and we will train our staff about modern slavery issues and increase awareness within the Company.

The Company requires its staff to complete training and ongoing refresher courses on slavery and human trafficking, covering how to identify the signs of slavery and human trafficking, what initial steps should be taken if slavery or human trafficking is suspected, and how to escalate potential issues to the relevant parties within the Company.
