Modern Slavery Statement
Effective date: 20 January 2025
1. Introduction
Wormit Trout Fishery is committed to ethical business practices, fair treatment and responsible supply chain management. We support efforts to prevent modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking and expect the same standards from those we work with.
This statement explains the steps we take to reduce the risk of modern slavery within our business and supply chains.
2. Our Organisation
Wormit Trout Fishery operates as a small trout fishery in North Fife, providing fly fishing, hosted experiences, private bookings, club days and related services.
Our supply chains are limited and generally include local or UK-based suppliers, such as fishery suppliers, food and hospitality providers, equipment suppliers, professional advisers, contractors and digital service providers. While we consider the risk of modern slavery in our direct operations to be low, we remain aware of our responsibilities and expect fair, lawful and ethical conduct from suppliers and partners.
3. Our Commitments
We are committed to:
- Legal compliance: complying with relevant legislation and guidance relating to modern slavery, employment and fair working practices.
- Responsible suppliers: working with reputable suppliers and service providers wherever possible.
- Fair treatment: treating workers, contractors, suppliers and guests with respect and dignity.
- Awareness: remaining alert to potential concerns and encouraging concerns to be reported.
- Action: reviewing concerns seriously and taking appropriate steps where issues are identified.
4. Risk Assessment & Mitigation
To help reduce risk, we aim to:
- Use local, reputable and established suppliers where practical.
- Consider ethical standards when choosing contractors, suppliers and service providers.
- Raise concerns directly with suppliers where practices appear inconsistent with our standards.
- Review supplier relationships where serious concerns arise.
- Keep our own working practices fair, lawful and transparent.
