Great article in Australia's newest media juggernaut, The Nightly, shedding light on the practices of online Chinese retailer Temu. Are their budget prices too good to be true? Most likely. Despite the company's denial of allegations regarding poor working conditions, forced labour, penal labour, and child labour in its supply chains, Senator David Shoebridge rightly points out that Temu should be compelled to lodge comprehensive modern slavery statements, providing evidence of its efforts to eradicate slavery from their supply chain.I wholeheartedly endorse Senator Shoebridge's call for accountability.Requiring Temu to disclose detailed modern slavery statements would bring transparency to their supply chain. It's yet another reason for the Federal Government to move ahead with plans to appoint an anti-slavery Commissioner who can do just that.You can read The Nightly articlebelow:#TheNightly #Temu #ModernSlavery #SupplyChainTransparency #CorporateAccountability #AntiSlaveryCommissioner #AustraliaBusiness #EthicalBusiness #SocialResponsibility #LabourRights

The comments and recommendation by Glyn Roberts of Retail NI go without saying is a common sense solution to assist in reducing crime levels in retail within Northern Ireland with assaults of shop workers will now be made a specific criminal offence announced by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.We here agree that even though the law is being actioned in both England & Wales, why is it not being replicated within Northern Ireland, we here at Quell never branch into the realms of politics, but understand that on this occasion it is for the government and Stormont to action soonest to protect workers within all areas of the retail sector.Reducing the crime levels in retail is a challenge every day as many of the clients we deal with have to face more and more behaviours that can be categorised as violent and aggressive and the harm both physically and mentally we witness is becoming more frequent and the lengths some individuals will go to in order to commit these crimes may surprise even you.We would ask you to read this story and like, share and repost to support our retail sector as staff retention is important for the economy and staff safety is important for a safe society.See if these ideas below can help you improve your levels of staff safety or just simply start a conversation.Body Cameras:https://lnkd.in/eyfJ5E6xHow to improve Retail Security:https://lnkd.in/ePqqe4vfShoplifting:https://lnkd.in/ema_xS7ALone Working Apps:https://lnkd.in/eB9yz7Y9Follow us at Linkedin:https://lnkd.in/eFjg2-WWatch us on YouTube:https://bit.ly/3p9YAD6#quelltraining#workplaceviolence#workplaceviolenceprevention#personalsafety#loneworking#conflictmanagement#retail#bodycameras

The latest report on policing highlights concerning trends: an increasingly poorly equipped and trained workforce, combined with inadequate performance management. When the institution responsible for supporting and protecting those in greatest need fails them, it not only further erodes public trust but also perpetuates a cycle of crisis and crime. It's time to address these long-standing issues and prioritise the voices of those with lived experience. In this blog, two Revolving Doors members, Lucy and Eden-Rose, discuss the way forward for policing: https://lnkd.in/eiNHesez
