Modern slavery statement

01Introduction

This statement sets out the steps Kingsbury Personnel Ltd takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires a statement from organisations with a turnover of £36 million or more. We publish this statement voluntarily, because recruitment, and international recruitment into health and social care in particular, carries known risks of exploitation.

02Our business

We are a UK recruitment agency and employment business. We introduce candidates to employers for permanent roles and supply temporary workers, mainly to care homes and healthcare providers, and also in early years, hospitality and legal services. Our supply chain includes our clients, job boards, a DBS umbrella body, payroll and IT service providers.

03Where the risks are

• Candidates being charged illegal recruitment fees by third parties, in the UK or abroad
• Candidates being controlled by someone else who holds their documents, wages or bank account
• Debt bondage linked to travel, visa or training costs
• Clients or other agencies exploiting workers after placement

04Our policies

• We never charge work-seekers fees, in line with section 6 of the Employment Agencies Act 1973.
• We follow the Code of Practice for International Recruitment, including no active recruitment from red list countries.
• Our safeguarding statement, equal opportunities policy and whistleblowing arrangements.
• We pay temporary workers directly into bank accounts in their own name, at or above the National Minimum Wage.

05Due diligence and warning signs

During registration and compliance checks our consultants look for signs of exploitation, including:

• several candidates sharing the same address, phone number, email or bank account
• a third party speaking for the candidate, attending interviews or holding their documents
• a candidate who cannot tell us their own address or who does not control their passport
• reluctance to meet or talk without someone else present
• signs that the candidate has paid someone to get the job or visa

If we have concerns, we speak to the candidate privately, do not proceed with the placement until we are satisfied, and report to the Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline, the Fair Work Agency or the police as appropriate.

06Training

All consultants receive training on recognising modern slavery, labour exploitation and illegal fee-charging when they join, with a refresher every year.
