Modern Slavery Act Policy

As a responsible business, The Company aim to act in a socially responsible manner at all times, by respecting the economic, social, cultural, political and civil rights of those employed through our business, and by complying with human rights legislation and the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Since the publication of our previous Modern Slavery statements, The Company Compliance Team have made several changes to their training, systems, audits and standard business practices which have strengthened our operational understanding, awareness and process relating to modern slavery.

Additionally, they have developed links with various external bodies and government authorities to ensure industry issues including illegal working prevention and labour exploitation are effectively managed and escalated where required. We are proud upon publication of our 2023 statement to be able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the processes we have introduced into our business in relation to tackling modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour exploitation.

As a business, we are committed to continuous improvement and strive to identify new methods, processes and practices that can be incorporated into our business operations, ensuring the health, safety and welfare of our workforce. The commitment is demonstrated by the significant financial investment made towards the development of Candidate Registration Systems and investments in IDV Technology , for which we have more plans and investment allocated to further develop features which aim to identify and prevent modern slavery risks within our business, once the initial roll out is completed.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Swift Temps and Swift Temps North West’s slavery and human trafficking statement for 2022 and 2023. It has been approved by the Board of Directors, who will review and update it regularly.

This statement sets out our actions and commitment regarding modern slavery risks across both our supply chain and our workers, to ensure steps are maintained to prevent both slavery and human trafficking.
