Modern slavery and human trafficking

  1. Introduction

    This statement sets out NFP’s actions to understand all potential modern slavery risks related to its business and to put in place steps that are aimed at ensuring that there is no slavery or human trafficking in its own business and its supply chains.

    Being part of the Financial Services industry, NFP recognises that it has a responsibility to take a robust approach to slavery and human trafficking, both within our directly employed workforce or any of our supply chain.

    NFP is absolutely committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in its corporate activities, and to ensuring that its supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking.

  2. Organisational structure and supply chains

    NFP operates globally, a range of financial support services, including employee benefits brokerage, international benefit consultancy, general insurance services, financial advice, and administration support.

  3. Policy

    Our compliance department is responsible for putting in place and reviewing policies and the process by which they were developed.

  4. Relevant policies

    NFP operates the following policies that describe its approach to the identification of modern slavery risks and steps to be taken to prevent slavery and human trafficking in its operations:

    • Whistleblowing policy

      NFP encourages all its workers, customers and other business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities, or the supply chains of, the company. This includes any circumstances that may give rise to an enhanced risk of slavery or human trafficking. The company's whistleblowing procedure is designed to make it easy for workers to make disclosures, without fear of retaliation. Employees, customers or others who have concerns can raise them under the protocols of this policy.

    • NFP Code of Conduct

      The company's code makes clear to employees the actions and behaviour expected of them when representing NFP. The company strives to maintain the highest standards of employee conduct and ethical behaviour when operating and managing its supply chain.

    • Recruitment policy

      NFP recruitment processes are transparent and reviewed on a regular basis. Only specified, reputable employment agencies are used to assist with recruitment needs. We always verify the practices of any new agency we utilise before accepting workers from that agency. NFP undergoes a diligent selection process in the selection of these agencies.

  5. Awareness Raising Programme

    NFP will continue to raise the awareness of the basic principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, including but not limited to:

    • How employers can identify and prevent slavery and human trafficking.
    • What employees can do to flag up potential slavery or human trafficking issues.
    • What external help is available:
      • In the Republic of Ireland, if you are a victim of modern slavery or human trafficking, or you spot a suspected case, you can contact the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland at (00353) (0) 1 889 7570, or email info@mrci.ie
      • In the Republic of Ireland, if you consider yourself, or someone you know, to be a victim of human trafficking, you should report your concerns to the Garda Síochána. In an emergency, you should call 999 or 112.
      • If you wish to report suspicions of human trafficking confidentially you can call the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or Crimestoppers on 1800 250 025. You can also email suspicions or concerns you wish to share with the Garda Síochána to blueblindfold@garda.ie
