Scope of this statement
This statement is made by Corestone Facilities Management Ltd in respect of the financial year stated above.
Note that a statement is a legal requirement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 only for organisations above the turnover threshold. Where it is published voluntarily, that should be said plainly rather than implied otherwise. Confirm the position before publishing.
Our business and supply chains
Describe the workforce — directly employed engineers, cleaners and security officers — and the parts of the supply chain that carry the greatest risk: labour agencies, specialist subcontractors, and consumables and equipment procurement.
Cleaning and security are recognised as higher-risk sectors for labour exploitation in the UK. A credible statement says so and explains what is done about it.
Policies and due diligence
Set out the recruitment checks carried out: right to work verification, identity checks, BS 7858 screening for security roles, and confirmation that workers are paid directly into personal bank accounts.
Describe supplier due diligence, contractual anti-slavery clauses, and the process for auditing labour providers.
Training and reporting
Describe the training given to managers and recruiters on spotting indicators of exploitation, and the whistleblowing route available to workers.
State how concerns are escalated and to whom, and confirm that no worker is disadvantaged for raising one.
Approval
A statement under section 54 must be approved by the board and signed by a director. Record the approving body, the signatory and the date here.
