Modern Slavery Statement September 2024

As required by the Modern Slavery Act 2015, this statement describes the approach of and

steps taken by Forshaw Security Solutions Ltd trading as CEFSS during the financial year ending on August 2024 in relation to the detection and prevention of slavery and human

trafficking in our own business.

Modern Slavery Statement

We have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking and we are

committed to ensuring that our business operates in a socially responsible way. We are

committed to playing our part in helping the world to improve practices designed to action

slavery and human trafficking.

Our Culture

We are dedicated to implementing and maintaining the highest standards of behaviour, ethics

and integrity among our workforce. We have created a culture where adherence to these

standards is recognised and rewarded. Our Code of Conduct establishes these standards and

addresses subjects such as integrity, conflicts of interest and non-discrimination. Employees

are trained annually on our Code of Conduct rules.

We conduct our business at all times in accordance with certain guiding principles which

represent the high standards that we set ourselves and exemplify the ethos and values which

we seek to inculcate in all of our employees. The importance of transparency,  and positive challenge is vital to us.

Our Employees

We employ people from a diverse range of backgrounds who all share, and subscribe to, the

ambitions and values of our business.

The maintenance of exemplary professional and ethical standards is extremely important to

us and the way in which we conduct our business, and employees are aware of the possibility

of sanction in the event of contraventions of, or non-compliance with, them. Our company director

is trained to deal with concerns raised by or about our employees lawfully, promptly and

confidentially.

Our Policies, Processes and Procedures

We are committed to act with integrity in all of our business activities and to comply with all

applicable laws and regulations to which we are subject. Our relevant policies include those

relating to:

• anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing;

• conflicts of interest;

• anti-bribery and corruption;

• ongoing supplier risk/impact assessments and due diligence on proposed and existing

service providers to mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our

supply chains;

• those to support an inclusive, open and tolerant workplace environment; and

• those relating to the raising of concerns or poor practice by our employees and those

with whom we deal.

These policies, processes and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure they are fit for

purpose and, where relevant, compliant with the latest modern slavery guidelines.

We are committed to acting ethically in all our business relationships and implementing and

enforcing effective systems and controls which make it clear that we do not tolerate slavery

and/or human trafficking within our supply chains and would seek to terminate any relationship

with a supplier where evidence of the same occurred.

Given the nature of our business, we do not consider that we operate in a sector where modern

slavery and human trafficking are particularly prevalent or of high risk, however a small

proportion of our service providers have business operations within geographical locations

that do represent an elevated risk, and as part of our procurement process we ask suppliers

for their Modern Slavery Statement where applicable. We utilise a supplier assurance

programme that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our supply chain services

partners comply with, and are aligned to, our values and our commitment to ensure that there

is no slavery or human trafficking arising in our supply chains or in any part of our business

and are assessed on this basis during the procurement process.

We have not, to date, had any reportable incidents of non-compliance with our Statement since

first published.
