Our business, CTS Recruitment Limited, is committed to combating slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains, and we make this statement to assist with compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. This statement relates to the financial year ending 5th April 2025.
As our business has a turnover of less than £36 million, we do not have a legal obligation to produce a modern slavery statement. However, we understand that clients with obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 cannot comply with those duties without our cooperation.
CTS Recruitment is a provider of workforce solutions and staffing services to a wide range of clients and industry sectors and operates in the United Kingdom only.
Our Code of Conduct reflects our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships, including our commitment to combating human trafficking and slavery. We believe our highest areas of potential risk are within our supply chain and in the provision of agency labour.
To mitigate and manage our risk the following activities were undertaken in the year:
Our Modern Slavery policy was reviewed to ensure it is still fit for purpose and shared across the business.
Our Modern Slavery policy was issued to all new employees, who have acknowledged and confirmed they have read and understood the same.
All new employees were required to complete Modern Slavery training within one month of joining the Company, and existing employees are required to complete refresher Modern Slavery training annually.
All employees have been advised on how they can report any concerns they may have associated with Modern Slavery.
All suppliers agree to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct as part of their contractual relationship with the Company and its businesses.
We take a risk-based approach towards our suppliers where we consider the exposure to be greatest. No significant problems have been identified within our supply chain.
We conduct at least one compliance audit during which pre-employment checks, including eligibility to work, references, qualifications, and proof of national insurance numbers, were reviewed.
We have performed random checks within our business to identify where agency workers may be sharing bank accounts, addresses, or telephone numbers, as this can be an indication of illegal or unethical behaviour. Where these are shared, we approach the individuals involved to ensure this is voluntary, for example, where couples share a bank account.
We have not used or accepted forced, bonded, or involuntary prison labour or child labour;
nor will we hold onto our workers’ identity papers or knowingly work with businesses that do.
No breaches of the Modern Slavery Act were reported during the year.
We review our policies and procedures regularly, not only to ensure they remain relevant, but
also to assess our progress.
The person in our business responsible for assessing matters relating to slavery and human trafficking is Jayne Warner, Operations Director.
