Anti-Money Laundering Policy

Purpose:

Money laundering is the process by which funds derived from criminal activity are given the appearance of being legitimate by being exchanged for clean money.

Whilst Human Transformation CIC do not currently carry out any of the regulated activities which would deem us subject to the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, we acknowledge the potential for the organisation, our staff and tenants to be exposed to attempted money laundering. As a result, we are at risk of associated offences detailed under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA).

We shall therefore maintain relevant anti-money laundering practices having reference to the standards of the regulations.

This policy aims to maintain the high standards of conduct which already exist throughout Human Transformation CIC to prevent Human Transformation CIC, our employees and tenants from being used for money laundering purposes.
This policy establishes a framework for staff to follow to mitigate money laundering risk and aid the prompt reporting of any suspicions of money laundering.
Scope:
The principles and terms within this document apply to all employees of Human Transformation CIC
Policy Statement & Principles:

Policy Statement
Human Transformation CIC is committed to protecting our organisation, staff and tenants from being used for the purposes of money laundering. We will implement appropriate systems and controls to protect against this risk, with reference to the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017.

Policy Principles

Anti-Money Policy and Procedures: An Anti-Money Laundering Policy, as agreed by the Audit & Risk Committee, details the measures Human Transformation CIC will take to mitigate money laundering risk. This will be used by the business for preparing procedural documents and will be reviewed on an annual basis.

Identify Customers: – For all tenants we will request necessary documentation to validate the individuals identify. Prior to entering into a tenancy or training agreement we will conduct affordability checks to satisfy ourselves that the individual can afford to maintain the tenancy through legitimate means. Where a tenant is intending to purchase all or part of their property from us Human Transformation CIC will not receive funds directly and the lawyers instructed by us will be expected to conduct appropriate anti-money laundering checks, including validating source of funds.

Monitor Refunds: Where refunds are requested, particularly from rent accounts, staff should consider the value very carefully as well as any unusual patterns of over payment preceding the refund request. All refunds will be subject to two signatories prior to payment from a Team Leader and a Head of Service.

Conduct Due Diligence on Contractors: When entering into a contract with an external provider we have a duty to ensure the contractor is bona fide, that the arrangement is legitimate and that it is not being entered into for money laundering purposes. Where a contract is worth more than £1,000 we will conduct due diligence on that company to be satisfied that they are a legitimate firm, conducting legitimate business with whom we are happy to do business.

Reporting of Suspicious Activities: All staff must be vigilant to identify and report potential money laundering as a failure to disclose a suspicion is a criminal offence (a template for reporting is provided in Appendix 2. A process will be made available to staff to allow them to promptly report any suspicions of activity which may be indicative of money laundering. Following a thorough investigation if a report is deemed to have merit a relevant onward report will be made to the necessary authorities.

‘Tipping off’: Extreme caution is required when a suspicion of money laundering is triggered as it is a criminal offence to inform the person who is suspected of money laundering that a report is being made and/or that an investigation is underway. Reference will not be made on any file and concerns will not be discussed with any person other than the Money Laundering Reporting Officer.

Staff Vetting: On joining the business and/or following a change of role all staff will undergo appropriate vetting checks, based on the responsibilities of the role they are being appointed to.

Anti-Money Laundering Training: All employees responsible for carrying out affected transactions, for initiating and/or establishing business relationships or who may be in a position to identify suspicious activities must undergo anti money laundering training on an annual basis. This will include how to spot and prevent money laundering.

Anti-Money Laundering Risk Analysis: As part of our existing Risk Management Framework, x will assess the level of money laundering risk exposure considering client and services and will determine appropriate security measures and reporting from this analysis.

Record Keeping: We will maintain records in respect of customer identification and suspicious activity reports and investigations securely for a period of at least 5 years.

Human Transformation CIC Anti-Money Laundering Policy adheres to the relevant sections of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and is prepared with reference to the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017.
Responsibilities:
The Board is responsible for:
• Establishing and overseeing a framework for the identification, management and reporting of money laundering risk and incidents and ensuring there are adequate systems of internal control, which are reviewed annually.

The Money Laundering Reporting Officer is responsible for:
• Ensuring the successful implementation of this policy through oversight activity. • Deciding what activity needs to be reported to National Crime Agency (NCA).

Line Managers are responsible for:

• Ensuring that their staff are aware of their responsibilities within this policy and receive appropriate training.

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
This Anti Money Laundering Policy wholly embodies our DEI ethos and also supports the wider aims of the general duties of the Public Sector Equality Duty of the Equality Act 2010 as its main aim is to eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act.

Customer Insight – understanding our customers
This policy has taken into account that Human Transformation CIC customer base is unlikely to always have the necessary documentation required for the purposes of satisfying identify checks, by providing alternative means for confirming identity.

Assurance Framework
Testing will be performed by the Risk Oversight Team through the course of the year to assess the effectiveness of business controls and adherence to this policy.

The Money Laundering Reporting Officer, the Chief Risk Officer, will make an annual report to the Board detailing the effectiveness of our Anti-Money Laundering Controls.

Risks
This policy assists with mitigating the risk identified in our risk register, namely “Financial
Crime Risk”

ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR POLICY

Introduction

The Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003 (Section 12) requires Housing Associations to publish policies and procedures on how to tackle anti-social behaviour in line with guidance issued by the Housing Corporation.

Human Transformation CIC recognises that anti-social behaviour can cause disruption and stress, not only to individuals, but to whole communities. How effectively we deal with anti-social behaviour is becoming increasingly important to our customers.

Human Transformation CIC Business Plan Objective 1 states that we will:
“provide cost effective, good quality, customer focused and responsive housing management services which meet the needs and expectations of tenants and applicants and maintain efficiency of the business.”

Anti-social behaviour has been defined as follows:
“conduct which is capable of causing nuisance or annoyance to any person and directly or indirectly relates to or affects the housing management functions of a relevant landlord”. Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003)

Human Transformation CIC accepts this definition.
Specific examples of anti-social behaviour may include (but not be restricted to):-
• Excessive and persistent noise nuisance
• Threatening language or behaviour
• Actual violence
• Illegal supply of drugs
• Car crime
• Racial and other harassment
• Arson and vandalism and graffiti.
• Intimidation and harassment such as racial harassment.

There is no prescriptive approach to dealing with anti-social behaviour and each case will be dealt with according to the individual circumstances and in a way appropriate to the circumstances of the case.

Key Commitments

Responsibilities

Housing Officers are responsible for dealing with matters of anti-social behaviour on a day-to-day basis.

The Housing Manager will be responsible for providing support and advice to Housing Officers and Volunteers on individual cases and ensure that effective and prompt action is taken.

The Manager has overall responsibility for monitoring anti-social behaviour and will report all cases to the Board of Management on a quarterly basis.

The Manager is also responsible for ensuring that all Housing Services staff is adequately trained in dealing with anti-social behaviour, as identified during induction programmes, monthly supervision sessions and appraisals with the Housing Manager.

General principles

In the first instance, individuals will be encouraged to resolve the problem for themselves, where appropriate.

A report of anti-social behaviour can be made in whichever way is convenient to the complainant. This will include complaints made on an individual’s behalf. Translation and interpreting services will be provided in circumstances where English is not the first language of either party, where this presents a difficulty.

Vulnerable tenants will be supported, either directly by Human Transformation CIC staff or by referral to the appropriate agency. If the perpetrator is vulnerable then support will also be sought for them if appropriate.

If either party is not satisfied by the way the association is dealing with the matter then they have the right to proceed through the Complaints Policy.

Human Transformation CIC will ensure that tenants are kept informed about action taken and the outcomes. Realistic timetables for action and outcomes will be given and options for action discussed.
Human Transformation CIC will ensure the confidentiality of the complainant as requested, except in cases where there are issues of child protection or criminal matters. These will be discussed in full with the complainant. Use will be made of the Information Exchange protocol as agreed with Avon and Somerset Police.

The implications of anti-social behaviour and breaches of the tenancy agreement will
be discussed at the sign up for each new tenancy and any support needs will be identified in order to ensure sufficient support is provided to enable tenants to sustain their tenancies.

A range of solutions will be considered in agreement with the complainant and explored in response to reports of anti-social behaviour including:
• Mediation
• Acceptable Behaviour Contracts
• Parental Control Orders
• Anti-Social Behaviour Orders
• Injunctions and warning interview
• Referral to Environmental Health
• Demoted tenancies
• Possession Proceedings including section 21 notice

Possessions proceedings will be considered in the most serious cases where other solutions are either not appropriate or have not proved successful. However, it is recognised that possession proceedings do not resolve the anti-social behaviour but can displace it elsewhere.

Human Transformation CIC will work in partnership with other agencies including the police and appropriate local authority departments (e.g. Community Safety Teams, Youth Offending Teams, Social Services, Mental Health Services) to tackle anti-social behaviour. We will also ensure our involvement in any local partnerships dealing with anti-social behaviour established in the areas where we operate.

Witnesses and complainants will be supported should legal action be taken in line with Human Transformation CIC Policy on support for complainants.

Response
Reports of anti-social behaviour will be acknowledged quickly and formally either by phone or in writing (specific response times are outlined in the Anti-Social Behaviour Procedures).
Home visits will be arranged where the complainant requests this and where the matter is particularly serious. Meetings will also be held at other locations as appropriate to the individual case.

Housing Officers will monitor their cases of Anti-Social Behaviour regularly
No case will be closed without the complainant being notified in writing with full reasons for this decision being specified.

Summary

Human Transformation CIC accepts that everyone has the right to their chosen lifestyle providing this does not affect the quality of life of their neighbours or the communities in which they live. This means being tolerant, accepting and respecting the needs and choices of other people.

However, we are committed to tackling the problems caused by anti-social behaviour and acknowledge that we must be effective and decisive in the action that we take.
