Modern Slavery
Statement

Introduction

This statement is made by RLP in accordance with the principles of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. Although we are not legally required to publish a modern slavery statement given the size and turnover of our business, we believe transparency and ethical conduct are non-negotiable — regardless of what the law requires of us.

Our Business

RLP is a specialist recruitment agency based in the United Kingdom. We employ a small team and operate primarily within the UK, connecting candidates with employers across a range of sectors and seniority levels.

Our operations are focused on professional recruitment services — we do not operate in industries typically associated with elevated modern slavery risk, such as manufacturing, construction, or large-scale logistics. Nonetheless, we take our responsibilities seriously and apply ethical standards consistently across everything we do.

Our Commitment

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking within our business or, to the best of our knowledge, within our supply chains.

This commitment extends to all areas of our work, including:

• The way we recruit, engage, and work with candidates
• The suppliers and technology partners we choose to work with
• The standards we expect of anyone who works with or for us

We will not knowingly work with any organisation or individual that engages in, supports, or turns a blind eye to modern slavery or forced labour in any form.

Our Supply Chains

Given the nature and size of our business, our supply chains are limited. They consist primarily of established technology providers whose services underpin our day-to-day operations.

We consider both organisations to have robust policies and procedures in place to prevent modern slavery within their operations and global supply chains. Both are signatories to, or comply with, internationally recognised ethical business standards.

Due Diligence

Due to the small size of our business and the limited nature of our supply chain, we have not implemented formal, documented due diligence procedures of the kind typically required of larger organisations under the Modern Slavery Act.

However, we remain actively mindful of ethical considerations when selecting partners, platforms, and suppliers. We consider the following when making decisions about who we work with:

• The supplier's reputation and publicly available information about their ethical practices
• Whether they operate in sectors or geographies associated with higher modern slavery risk
• Whether they have published their own modern slavery statement or equivalent policy

As our business grows, we will keep this approach under review and introduce more structured due diligence where it becomes proportionate and appropriate to do so.

Ongoing Commitment

We recognise that preventing modern slavery is not a one-time exercise but an ongoing responsibility. We are committed to reviewing and strengthening our practices over time.

Specifically, we intend to:

• Review this statement annually and update it whenever our business or supply chains change materially
• Ensure that any new supplier relationships are considered through an ethical lens before being established
• Raise awareness among our team of what modern slavery looks like and how to report concerns

Anyone who has a concern about potential modern slavery — whether within our business or through a supplier — is encouraged to raise it immediately with a director of RLP.

Approval

This statement has been reviewed and approved by the directors of RLP. It will be reviewed again no later than April 2027, or sooner if our business circumstances change in a way that is relevant to the matters covered here.
