Modern Slavery Act 2015 Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Introduction from The CEO
We are committed to implementing practices aimed at combatting slavery and human trafficking.
The company acts as both an employment agency, employment business, and as a recruitment process outsourcer and accordingly we have to remain vigilant to the possibility of slavery and human trafficking forming part of our business and/or supply chains.
We appreciate that the recruitment industry faces particular challenges in this area, although consider that our key areas of specialism make this less likely.
The company covers key growth sectors of the global employment market including technology and data driven markets.

Our Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business.

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we undertake due diligence when considering taking on new suppliers, and regularly reviews its existing suppliers. The Group’s due diligence process includes:
- building long-standing relationships with suppliers and making clear our expectations of business partners
- evaluating the modern slavery and human trafficking risks of each new supplier
- implementing systems to encourage the reporting of concerns and the protection of whistle blowers (including publicising a helpline number where concerns can be reported confidentially)
Supplier Adherence to Our Values
We have zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking. To ensure all those in our supply chain and contractors comply with our values we have in place a supply chain compliance programme. This consists of (a) issuing questionnaires; and (b) when we are entering into new contracts, where possible, including contractual provision for ensuring compliance with the Act and/or anti-slavery due diligence/our policy.
Training & Checklists
To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we provide training to our staff and we have introduced a new system of checks to be considered by our staff when engaging workers.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our Group’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending 31 May 2018 and has been approved by the Board.
