Definitions

The Business considers that modern slavery encompasses:

human trafficking
forced work, through mental or physical threat
being owned or controlled by an employer through mental or physical abuse of the threat of abuse
being dehumanised, treated as a commodity or being bought or sold as property
being physically constrained or to have restriction placed on freedom of movement.

Commitment

The Business acknowledges its responsibilities in relation to tackling modern slavery and commits to complying with the provisions in the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The Organisation understands that this requires an ongoing review of both its internal practices in relation to its labour force and, additionally, its supply chains.

The Business does not enter into business with any other organisation, in the United Kingdom or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to involve itself in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

No labour provided to the Business in the pursuance of the provision of its own services is obtained by means of slavery or human trafficking. The Organisation strictly adheres to the minimum standards required in relation to its responsibilities under relevant employment legislation in the United Kingdom and in many cases exceeds those minimums in relation to its staff.

Supply chains

In order to fulfil its activities, the main supply chains of the Business include those related to the recruitment of people in the United Kingdom. We work directly with candidates seeking new positions or with clients seeking to employ staff in the United Kingdom.

Potential exposure

As an ethical recruitment agency we consider exposure to human trafficking to be limited and takes every step to ensure that such practices do not take place in its business nor the business of any organisation that supplies services to it.

Steps

The Business carries out due diligence processes in relation to ensuring slavery and/or human trafficking does not take place in its business or supply chains, including conducting a review of the controls of its suppliers and clients.

The Business has not, to its knowledge, conducted any business with another organisation which has been found to have involved itself with modern slavery.

We regularly review our supplier contacts and clients and include termination powers in the event that the supplier or client is, or is suspected, to be involved in modern slavery

Slavery Compliance
