Our annual turnover for 2019 was £78,971,242. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights which is constituted in the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which are abuses of a person’s freedoms and rights. UCL are committed to tackling modern slavery in all operations. We are dedicated to improving our practices to combat modern slavery to ensure it does not take place in any of our business. We strive to ensure all operations are conducted in an ethical manner and with integrity. Our Supply Chains Our supply chains include the sourcing of candidates for placement to clients. In addition to direct recruitment, our supply chains also include other limited companies that supply us with contractors. We have direct control over the sourcing of all candidates and have implemented a system of checks to be carried out by our staff when engaging candidates. Our Policies UCL has a Modern Slavery Act Policy which is visible to the business and shows our commitment to ensuring there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains and that we are enforcing effective systems and controls to guarantee this. Our Policy includes real examples of where UCL could be caught out by modern slavery to help our employees understand and combat these situations if they arise. In addition to this policy, the following policies also assist with the prevention of modern slavery: Whistleblowing Policy Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy Complaints Handling Policy Due Diligence We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and expect all those in our supply chain and contractors to comply with our values. We have a stringent vetting procedure and undertake due diligence when considering taking on new suppliers.

Monitoring & Compliance To ensure the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business are understood, we include a training session on modern slavery in our induction for all new staff.
