Unseen Helpline Business Portal
Tackling Modern Slavery
In 2020, we became the first recruitment agency to utilise Unseen UK’s Helpline Business Portal. It is a secure online platform that handles modern slavery cases and reports them in real-time. This service is one of its kind in the UK and aims to identify potential victims of modern slavery at work and put an end to it.
Our partnership
Our association with the portal has strengthened our resilience to fight modern slavery by identifying potential cases in our supply chain. It gives us the resources to work with our clients to report and resolve any cases of workplace exploitation.
Partnerships and Accreditations
We are proud to hold many accreditations and partner with a wide range of organisations. These partnerships help ensure we maintain our commitment to ethical labour supply and provide every colleague with an equal opportunity for employment.
