Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Introduction

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps taken by Stafffinders to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. It outlines our commitment to acting ethically, with integrity, and transparently in all business relationships.  

​

Our commitment 

Stafffinders has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking do not take place in any part of our organisation or supply chain.

We expect the same high standards from all contractors, suppliers, and business partners. Our contractual arrangements include prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory, or trafficked labour, and we expect our suppliers to uphold these standards throughout their own supply chains.  

​

Scope of the Policy 

This statement applies to all individuals working for or on behalf of Stafffinders in any capacity, including employees, contractors, consultants, agency workers, third-party representatives, and business partners.

Responsibility and Governance  

The Chief Executive has overall responsibility for ensuring compliance with our ethical obligations and this statement. Day-to-day responsibility for implementing and monitoring compliance rests with the Associate Director, who oversees internal controls and procedures designed to prevent modern slavery.  

Managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that employees understand and comply with this policy and receive appropriate training on modern slavery risks and reporting procedures.  

Reporting Concerns 

All employees and individuals working on behalf of Stafffinders are expected to report any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery within our business or supply chains. Concerns can be raised internally with management or externally through the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700, where confidential advice and support are available.  

​

Stafffinders encourages openness and supports anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith. We are committed to ensuring that no individual suffers detrimental treatment as a result of reporting suspected wrongdoing.  

​

Training and Awareness  

Training on modern slavery and human trafficking forms part of Stafffinders’ induction process and ongoing employee development. We also communicate our zero-tolerance approach to suppliers, contractors, and business partners at the outset of our business relationships and reinforce this commitment where appropriate. 

Compliance and Breaches  

Any employee found to be in breach of this policy, unless identified as a victim of modern slavery, may face disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. Stafffinders may also terminate relationships with suppliers, contractors, or other organisations found to be in breach of our standards.  

​

Approval 

This statement has been approved by the senior management of Stafffinders and will be reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and compliance with legal and ethical obligations.
