Introduction

This statement is made on behalf of Secure On Site Private Security Services Limited in accordance with section 54 of Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”) with respect to the financial year ending 31 July 2021.

At the SecureOnSite, we take our responsibilities to society as seriously as we take our responsibilities to our guests. The Act creates offences in respect of slavery and human trafficking in a range of forms and it is our commitment to do all that we can to combat all such practices in our organisations and supply chains, so as to ensure that our business operations are conducted with integrity and regard for human dignity.

About Us

Secure On Site Security grew from a local Haringey company to a industry leader thanks to our close relationship with our clients. Many of our now standard services were born out of being asked for a service that we didn’t provide yet, and we continue to adapt our business based on your needs to this day.

“Exceed Customer Expectations” is Secure On Site Security’s company-wide ethos. It pushes us to go outside of our comfort zone and tear up the rule book when our clients need us to, resulting in us tackling everything from top-to-bottom event management and service delivery companies. If you can’t find what you need on our robust list of services, just give us a call and we will make your safety our business.

This pursuit of quality has not gone unnoticed. Secure On Site Security are a member of the SIA’s Approved Contractor Scheme, Alcumus ISOQAR Quality Managment System ISO 9001, and Alcumus SafeContractor.

We recognise that modern slavery offences might arise both within our industry.

Our Policies and Procedures

Our current policies and procedures that would assist us in mitigating the risk of such offences arising include the following:

• Recruitment – we conduct checks on any new employees that join our business to ensure that they have eligibility to work in the relevant country, so as to mitigate the risk of human trafficking or of such individuals being forced to work against their will. We also only work with reputable external recruitment partners when looking for new employees.

• Reporting procedures – we have clear avenues in place for all our employees to raise any concerns that they might have in relation to their employment, without repercussions.
• Contractor appointments – our contractor appointment documentation contain general confirmations that contractors comply with all applicable laws, but in addition we also seek extensive specific warranties regarding compliance with the Act from any parties who will be involved in any of our development projects.
• Procurement of goods – where we engage with procurement agents to help source manufacturers or suppliers of goods for purchase for our projects, we ensure that we only engage with reputable agents.

Looking Ahead 

In the coming months, we intend to develop a risk-based approach to our procurement of goods strategy, by identifying those of our suppliers that fall within a geographical area or industry that is at high risk of triggering modern slavery concerns, to then take steps to understand their practices and where appropriate to engage with these suppliers regarding the Act.

Approved by the Board of Directors.
