2. Organisation Structure

Staff Link is a recruitment agency specialising in logistics, warehousing, and industrial cleaning sectors. We operate primarily within the UK and work with both temporary and permanent recruitment solutions. Our supply chains include:

5. Performance Indicators

We use the following key performance indicators to measure how effective we have been in ensuring that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains:

6. Training and Awareness

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we provide training to relevant members of staff. All directors have been briefed on the subject.

7. Reporting and Whistleblowing

We encourage all our workers, customers and other business partners to report any concerns related to the direct activities, or the supply chains of, our organisation. This includes any circumstances that may give rise to an enhanced risk of slavery or human trafficking. Our whistleblowing procedure is designed to make it easy for workers to make disclosures, without fear of retaliation.
