121 Recruitment Services: Anti-Slavery Policy
The UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 applies to companies of all sizes, making it illegal for any organisation to employ or engage in activities that involve slavery. Even if a company’s turnover falls below the £36 million reporting threshold, all businesses are expected to take proactive steps to address modern slavery risks. Modern slavery disproportionately affects low-pay, low-skill workers and remains a critical issue in some parts of the world, including within certain supply chains.
​
As a recruitment company, 121 Recruitment Services is fully committed to combating all forms of modern slavery. We recognise that the recruitment industry has a responsibility to ensure ethical practices are followed at every stage of hiring and employment. Therefore, we require all employees to be fully aware of the Modern Slavery Act and its implications when recruiting candidates.
​

At 121 Recruitment Services, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards:
-

We are dedicated to ensuring that our recruitment processes and operations are free from any form of exploitation.

This ensures they are equipped to recognise and report any suspicious activity.
​
Recruitment Practices
To uphold our commitment, 121 Recruitment Services conducts thorough checks on candidates to verify their Right to Work in the UK. These checks are an essential part of our recruitment processes and help to safeguard against the risks of modern slavery.
​
By embedding these practices into our operations, 121 Recruitment Services continues to lead with integrity, ensuring that ethical recruitment remains at the forefront of what we do.
