MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT

This Statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes RSM Securus' modern slavery statement for financial year ending 5th April 2025.

RSM Securus' Modern Slavery Act Statement;

RSM Securus is committed to ensuring modern slavery does not exist in its practices, and its supply chains. We constantly strive to develop and integrate policies and procedures to manage the way we obtain our goods and services, to keep our supply chains transparent and ethical.

We will continue to conduct official audits to assess our approach and progression this year, and yearly hereafter to conclude and ensure it is deserving of the highest audit opinion possible. To date we have had no reports of modern slavery within our organisation nor our supply chains.

Supply chain

RSM's standard operating procedure is a rigid programme to assess the modern slavery standards of our key suppliers.

All contracts and subcontracts explicitly reference our organisations sourcing standards and the requirements we expect them to meet on modern slavery.

We then follow this up with a questionnaire targeted at better understanding their environmental, ethical practices, and general ethos of both their supply chain and manufacturing facilities. The intel we collate from these answered questions assist our organisation in identifying any supplier who may fall short of our benchmark, facilitating us in working in partnership with them, so they can improve and achieve our standards prior to forming a working relationship with them.

We remain committed and proactive on assessing our high risk spend areas, and other areas we have identified as susceptible to modern slavery, and on continually raising awareness across all staff, through easy access to our statement and through our training programmes, from the Directors through to everyone working within our organisation, to ensure all products and services are sourced and supplied responsibly, ethically, and in line with our companies proud ethos.

Staff and volunteer wellbeing

RSM Securus has a clear and concise framework of Standard operating procedures, rules and behaviours, and actively encourages the reporting of any concerns or breaches so that they can be dealt with appropriately in accordance with our policies and procedures.

As a veteran owned company whom actively seeks to employ fellow veterans, we have a firm sense of duty to one another that lasts long after our uniforms have been retired.

The well-being, both mental and physical is at the very forefront of our business practices and we do everything within our power to ensure that all measures of support are available.

One of the ways we achieve this is by working closely with military charities such as Walking With the Wounded, to ensure that various services and facilities are available in any area we operate, both in terms of role and geography.

In the coming year, and every subsequent financial year, RSM will review and revise its approach to detection, safeguarding and preventative measures, to ensure it appropriately reflects aspects such as radicalisation and child exploitation.

RSM checks that staff can demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK, and requires all contractors and agency staff to undergo an eligibility check before commencing work with our organisation as a standard practice.

We also check and confirm the eligibility to work in the UK of any volunteers who wish to work alongside or within our organisation.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes the Trust’s modern slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending 5th April 2025.

This statement was approved by the Board of Directors of RSM on 5th of April 2024 and signed by Daniel Weller Director and 25% shareholder of RSM on behalf of the company and fellow directors, after said approval had been given.
