Fleming Lettings and Developments UK Limited, trading as Fleming Lettings, opposes slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. This policy sets out the standards we expect in our lettings and property-management work and the approach we intend to take when concerns arise.

Our expectations

Everyone working for or supplying services to Fleming Lettings is expected to treat people with dignity, respect their freedom and comply with applicable employment and safeguarding law. We do not accept forced labour, coercion, threats, trafficking or the withholding of identity documents to control a person.

Recognising risk

Exploitation can occur in the UK and in supply chains. A supplier being well known or based in the UK does not, by itself, establish that there is no risk. Property visits, maintenance arrangements, cleaning, construction and other contracted services may bring concerns to light.

Warning signs can include someone being unable to speak freely, another person controlling their documents or money, threats, signs of coercion, or unsafe accommodation linked to work. These signs require careful consideration; they are not proof of exploitation. Tenant referencing and Right to Rent checks do not establish that someone is not a victim.

Raising a concern

If someone is in immediate danger, call 999. For a non-emergency concern that may involve a crime, contact the police on 101. Do not confront a suspected exploiter or put yourself or another person at risk.

Staff, customers and suppliers can raise concerns about our business or contractors with management at enquiries@fleminglettings.co.uk or on 01902 212415. Share only the information needed to explain the concern, and do not send identity documents or other sensitive records through an ordinary enquiry unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure route.

How concerns should be handled

Our policy is to take concerns seriously, consider immediate safety, limit access to personal information and seek appropriate advice or refer concerns to the relevant authorities. A person raising a concern honestly should not suffer retaliation. Absolute confidentiality cannot be promised where information needs to be shared lawfully to protect someone or assist an investigation.

Suppliers and staff awareness

Our intended approach is to consider the nature of the work and any indicators of exploitation when appointing and reviewing suppliers, seek clarification where concerns arise and consider appropriate action where standards are not met. Staff should know how to recognise and report concerns. Any training, checks or remedial action undertaken should be recorded so that future statements can describe what has actually been done.

Keeping this policy accurate

This is a policy statement of expectations and intended practice. It does not claim that supplier audits, staff training or a formal risk assessment have already been completed, and it is not an annual statutory transparency statement. Where statutory reporting obligations apply, the required annual statement must be prepared, approved and signed in accordance with the law. We will review this policy when our operations or relevant guidance change.
