Modern Slavery Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Our commitment

At Adhoc Actors, we are committed to conducting our business responsibly and ethically.

We have zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour or exploitation in any part of our business or in the organisations and suppliers we work with.

We believe everyone has the right to work freely, safely and with dignity.

What is modern slavery?

Modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking.

People can be forced into work through threats, coercion, deception or abuse of vulnerability.

We recognise that modern slavery can exist in businesses and supply chains of all sizes, and we take reasonable steps to ensure that it does not form part of our business practices.

Our business

Adhoc Actors is a creative business providing professional actors and creative services for events, entertainment, training, film, video, voiceover and immersive experiences.

Our work involves a network of professional performers, creative partners, suppliers and clients. We aim to work with people and organisations that share our commitment to fair, ethical and respectful working practices.

Our approach

We will:

Treat everyone we work with fairly, respectfully and professionally.
Never knowingly use forced, compulsory or trafficked labour.
Expect performers, freelancers, suppliers and other business partners to work freely and without coercion.
Take reasonable steps to understand who we are working with and, where appropriate, how services are being provided.
Pay people fairly and in accordance with agreed terms.
Ensure that performers and other workers understand the nature of the work they are being engaged to undertake.
Take concerns about exploitation or unfair working practices seriously.
Review our practices periodically to ensure that they continue to meet our responsibilities.

Working with performers

Our actors and performers are an important part of our business, and we are committed to treating them fairly and professionally.

Before a booking, we aim to provide clear information about the role, project, location, timings, fees and relevant requirements.

We expect performers to be free to accept or decline work without coercion or intimidation and to be paid according to the agreed terms.

We will not knowingly engage performers through arrangements involving exploitation, forced labour or human trafficking.

Our suppliers and partners

Where we work with external suppliers, production companies, venues or other partners, we expect them to operate responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws.

We will not knowingly work with an organisation where there are serious concerns about modern slavery, forced labour or human trafficking.

Where appropriate to the nature and scale of a project, we may ask suppliers or partners about their own policies and working practices.

Raising concerns

We encourage anyone working with Adhoc to raise concerns if they believe that modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking or exploitation may be taking place in connection with our business or a project we are involved in.

Concerns can be raised directly with us and will be treated seriously and sensitively.

No one should be disadvantaged or treated unfairly for raising a genuine concern.

Where appropriate, we will investigate concerns and take reasonable steps to address any issues identified.

Responsibility

As a small business, we recognise that we have a responsibility to understand the people and organisations we work with and to maintain high standards throughout our business.

Responsibility for this policy sits with the business owners, who will review it periodically and ensure that it remains appropriate to the nature and scale of Adhoc’s activities.

Our commitment

We are committed to doing business in a way that respects people, protects their rights and does not tolerate exploitation.

Everyone has the right to work freely, fairly and with dignity.
