Modern Slavery Policy

Osmium Partners Limited

  1. Introduction

Osmium Partners Limited is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chains. This policy sets out our approach in compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and our responsibilities as a UK-based recruitment company.

  1. Our Business and Supply Chains

Osmium Partners Limited provides professional recruitment services across a range of sectors in the UK. As a recruiter, we are aware of the heightened risks of modern slavery within labour supply chains. We work closely with clients, candidates, and suppliers to maintain the highest ethical standards and transparency.

  1. Our Commitment

We are committed to:

  • Acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships
  • Implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains or business
  • Ensuring transparency in our approach to tackling modern slavery, consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015
  1. Due Diligence Processes

We undertake the following due diligence measures:

  • Verifying the identity and right to work status of all candidates placed by us
  • Vetting suppliers and partners to ensure compliance with anti-slavery standards
  • Reviewing contracts with clients and suppliers to include appropriate clauses on modern slavery and human rights obligations
  1. Risk Management and Assessment

We assess potential risks where:

  • There is a reliance on temporary or low-paid labour
  • Workers are recruited from overseas
  • There is a complex supply chain with limited transparency

Our risk assessments help identify areas requiring further scrutiny and monitoring.

  1. Training and Awareness

We provide training to relevant staff to help them:

  • Identify the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking
  • Understand the risks specific to recruitment and labour supply chains
  • Know how to raise concerns and take appropriate action

  • A designated point of contact within Osmium Partners Limited
  1. Responsibility for the Policy

Overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations rests with the senior management team. Operational responsibility lies with the Compliance and Operations Lead (or equivalent).
