Modern Slavery Statement

Organisation
This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, agents, contractors and suppliers.

The information included in the statement refers to the financial year 2025.

Organisational structure
The Organisation is headed in Warrington with other two branches located around the country: Birmingham and Doncaster. The Organisation is controlled by a board of Directors who include Russell Jones (Company Director), Dorian Dyer (Group Operations Director) and Stephanie Beaumont (Finance Director).

The Organisation performs the placement of temporary and permanent workers across business and industrial sectors across the UK with a highly professional and personal approach.

The labour supplied to the Organisation in pursuance of its operation is wholly carried out in the United Kingdom, within the regions specified above.

Definitions
The Organisation 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 abuseof 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 Organisation 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 Organisation 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 Organisation 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 employees.

Supply chains
In order to fulfil its activities, the main supply chains of the Organisation include those related to recruitment and placement of temporary and permanent workers across the United Kingdom.

Ideal Recruit Limited strictly prohibits the use of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We have and will continue to be committed to implementing systems and controls aimed at ensuring that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our organisation or in any of our supply chains. We expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.

Potential exposure
The Organisation considers its main exposure to the risk of slavery and human trafficking to exist where EU and non-EU workers seek employment through the Organisation and may be tied to a third party who expects to receive their wages.

In general, the Organisation considers its exposure to slavery/human trafficking to be moderate. Nonetheless, it has taken steps to ensure that such practices do not take place

in its business nor the business of any organisation that supplies goods and/or services to it.

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

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

In accordance with section 54(4) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the Organisation has taken the following steps to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place:

• reviewing contracts to include termination powers in the event that the supplieris, or is suspected, to be involved in modern slavery,
• measures in place to identify and assess the potential risks in its supply chains,
• undertaking impact assessments of its services upon potential instances of slavery,
• creating action plans to address risk to modern slavery,
• any actions taken to embed a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery,
• any training provided to staff on modern slavery.

Key performance indicators
The Organisation has set the following key performance indicators to measure its effectiveness in ensuring modern slavery is not taking place in the Organisation or its supply chains.

Slavery Compliance Officer
The Organisation has a Slavery Compliance Officer, to whom all concerns regarding modern slavery should be addressed, and who will then undertake relevant action with regard to the Organisation’s obligations.

This statement is made in pursuance of Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will be reviewed for each financial year.
