National Recruitment Line Statement Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement 2017

Introduction

National Recruitment Line Limited (hereinafter referred to as ‘NRL’) belongs to the Network Hygiene Group founded by Ross Smith in 2011.

NRL was created to provide a platform to facilitate recruitment related business to both individuals and organisations. The Network Hygiene Group is still owned by the Smith family and remains committed to their values:

We are Fair, Open and Honest
We Take Ownership; and
We Work Together

These values are directly relevant to the issues associated with eradicating the evil of modern slavery. The NRL is committed to developing and improving its processes to combat slavery and human trafficking.

Structure

Although the Network Hygiene Group provides a recruitment related service, NRL's particular focus is on what might best be described as facilitating synergy between those candidates seeking both temporary and permanent employment with employers looking to fill various roles.

NRL's registered office is at 6 Whattons Close, Sedgebrook, Grantham, Lincolnshire, NG32 2EX and it employs 5 people in the UK from where it delivers its services to work seekers and employers across the country.

NRL's ultimate parent company is Network Hygiene Group which is based in the UK. NRL services are limited to e-recruitment activity in the UK.

Business

NRL operates Nationalrecruitmentline.com a job site specifically for the logistics industry. This means that we advertise vacancies on behalf of employers who are looking for drivers. Candidates can also upload their details and elect to make them available to recruiters facilitated by NRL to fill roles.

NRL's Supply Chains

As a UK focussed digital service provider, NRL's supply chains are limited to those individuals and organisations which provide NRL with the goods and services needed to operate, such as stationery and IT equipment.

As a digital business operating exclusively in the UK there is a very limited scope for slavery and human trafficking to take place in NRL's business or supply chain, particularly as all of the workers engaged by NRL and its suppliers work in the UK and are, therefore, entitled to receive at least the statutory minimum employment rights provided for by law.

NRL's Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking

NRL is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in its supply chains or in any part of its business. NRL's Anti-Slavery Policy reflects this commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all its businesses.

Due Diligence for Slavery and Human Trafficking

As all of NRL's suppliers provide their services to NRL in the UK they are obliged to ensure that everyone they employ in the UK receives at least the appropriate minimum statutory rights and comply with UK legislation on modern slavery and human trafficking.

NRL's Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking

Effectiveness in Combating Slavery and Human Trafficking

As this is NRL's first Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement, the processes it is developing will be kept under review.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes NRL's slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending in July 2018.
