Child labour policy

The purpose of this policy is to prohibit the employment of any children and to ensure that the working conditions of young workers are compliant with national legislative requirements.

This policy will be applicable to all our employees, management, visitors, contractors, suppliers and labour service providers.

Straight Forward Chassis will not employ any children (aged less than 15yrs) and will manage young workers (aged 15-17 yrs) within the prescribed legislative requirements.

Straight Forward Chassis commits to:

• having a robust system that effetely monitors the age of workers during recruitment
• not employ any children aged younger than 15
• if any children are found to need work that correct procedures will be followed through welfare channels to ensure a solution is found
• only employ young workers whose terms of employment are compliant with legislative requirements
• pay young workers as a minimum according to the national legislative guidance
• promoting education with all adults to ensure children complete a school career

To achieve this, Straight Forward Chassis will ensure that:

• There is a recruitment procedure in place
• management systems are regularly controlled to ensure no children are employed
• good records of young workers will be kept
• a procedure for the recruitment of young workers is in place clearly stipulating their terms of employment
• permission will always be sought from a young worker’s parent or legal guardian

Straight Forward Chassis always commits to apply this policy. It’s especially relevant during recruitment of new workers.
