Policy Statement

Corus Consultancy is firmly committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, bonded labour, and child labour, within our operations and supply chain. This policy reflects our zero-tolerance approach and underscores our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in every aspect of our business.

Purpose

This policy outlines Corus Consultancy’s dedication to ethical practices throughout our supply chain. We are committed to implementing strong measures and continuous monitoring to identify, prevent, and address any risks of modern slavery within our operations and recruitment processes.

Scope

This policy applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers, and stakeholders associated with Corus Consultancy.

Our Policy

Suppliers must adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct and Terms and Conditions concerning ethical treatment of all employees and temporary workers.

We firmly believe that all workers must have the freedom to choose their employment voluntarily and must be protected under applicable employment laws.

We strictly prohibit any form of discrimination, victimisation, or harassment in the workplace.

All relevant slavery and human trafficking laws must be complied with.

Our Commitment

We are committed to:

· Complying with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

· Maintaining the highest ethical standards in recruitment practices.

· Ensuring transparency in our operations and supply chain.

· Preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chains.

· Taking proactive steps to reduce the risk of modern slavery through due diligence, training, and collaboration.

Due Diligence Processes for Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

As a recruitment agency providing temporary personnel to a broad client base, we apply rigorous due diligence to mitigate modern slavery risks by:

• Verifying candidates’ identity and legal eligibility to work.
• Conducting ongoing due diligence on our supply chains to ensure compliance with relevant laws, evolving these processes as necessary.
• Ensuring temporary personnel can leave assignments with reasonable notice, without coercion or penalty.
• Performing thorough due diligence on candidates, clients, and suppliers.
• Prohibiting any recruitment or placement fees charged to workers.
• Regularly monitoring and auditing recruitment processes to prevent exploitation.
• Providing workers with clear, written contracts and terms prior to placement.

Business and Supply Chain Risks

As a recruitment agency, our core operations involve sourcing, placing, and managing workers across various sectors. We recognise that the nature of temporary labour recruitment can present elevated risks of modern slavery, especially in:

• High-risk sectors (e.g., construction, warehousing, hospitality).
• Subcontracting chains where visibility is reduced.
• Use of third-party labour providers.

Risk and Compliance

Corus Consultancy evaluates its exposure to modern slavery risks through its Internal Audit function. As our core business is focused on the provision of recruitment services in the driving, industrial, construction and care sector we conduct biannual evaluations to ensure compliance and risk mitigation.

Training and Awareness

We will provide training for all relevant staff to understand the risks of modern slavery and how to recognise and report potential abuse. Below are the training links:
