This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our group's slavery and human trafficking and has been approved by the UK Senior Management Team and our Managing Director Liam Phelps 

Heartstone Recruitment LTD recognises that modern slavery and human trafficking is a violation of fundamental human rights and is contrary to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”). We are committed to continually improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking and to encourage the same high standards from our supply chain and other business 
partners.

Heartstone Recruitment is a UK based recruitment agency, established in 2025, that specialises in providing recruitment and workforce management solutions across various business sectors. Offering a range of services, including temporary and permanent solutions and on-site managed services.

Heartstone Recruitment has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our entire operations. We will conduct our business with integrity and will not knowingly deal with any business or individual involved in slavery or human trafficking. We have not reported any Modern Slavery breaches in our last financial year. 

Our suppliers and contractors must share our commitment. We purchase a wide range of products and services from our supply chain, including but not limited to IT hardware, software, and telecommunications; vehicles; office furniture, PPE equipment and supplies; utilities; and training services. Our approved suppliers must comply and act in accordance with our Modern Slavery Policy and must submit a pre-qualification document, which also covers 
the Act and provides us with all necessary due diligence.

To fulfill our commitment, we will:
• Regularly review our Modern Slavery policy, risk assessment and practices on a regular basis to ensure they remain fit for purpose.
• Conduct due diligence checks to identify potential modern slavery risks.
• Provide training to staff in modern slavery and how to identify and report potential cases. 
• Attend external modern slavery training such as Stronger Together and GLAA partner workshops. 
• Ensure our SMT has attended Modern Slavery training with Stronger Together and place modern slavery as an agenda item at SMT meetings.
• Encourage and support the reporting of any suspected cases of modern slavery and human trafficking by promoting internally.
• Promote our dedicated confidential telephone number for workers to report concerns of exploitation/human trafficking. 

Our Due Diligence:

• Weekly checks across all workers to identify potential signs of modern slavery (duplicate addresses, phone numbers, bank accounts, emergency contacts). The Compliance team will investigate any concerns to ensure independence. 
  • Comprehensive internal audit program conducted by the Compliance team. 
  • Conduct due diligence checks on our supply chain partners
  • Conduct reference checks on all employees working for the group and all staff must undertake an annual self-declaration outlining criminal convictions and undertake a ‘fit and proper’ test in line with GLAA requirements. 

Our Future 2025 Plans:
• Further engagement with local communities 
• Improved manager training on spotting the signs of modern slavery
