<p>The Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA) have established Licensing Standards
against which applicants and existing licence holders are assessed. They are all legal
requirements to protect workers from poor treatment and exploitation and set out the
conditions that must be met to obtain and hold a GLA licence.</p><p>The Standards
are published on the GLA website at:-</p><p>http://www.gla.gov.uk/Guidance/Information-on-Licensing/Licencing-Standards/.
They include treatment of workers, accommodation and working conditions among others.
Any non-compliance with the Standards is treated very seriously and would bear on
the risk a licence holder poses. In addition, the GLA receives intelligence from partner
agencies, such as police forces, about businesses which would also be taken into account
in assessing risk. The GLA can inspect businesses where there are concerns.</p>
