Lifeline Alarm Systems Ltd (the company) embraces all ethical business practices and policies that protect workers from being abused and exploited within both our own organisation and our international supply chain. This statement is based on the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps taken to ensure that modern slavery—encompassing slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced labour—is not taking place within our business. Lifeline Alarm Systems Ltd has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery.
Lifeline Alarm Systems Ltd and its Board of Directors are committed to acting ethically with integrity and transparency in all business dealings. We implement effective systems and controls to safeguard against any form of modern slavery within our business or supply chain.
The company maintains a preferred supplier list as part of our ISO certified procedures. This involves a due diligence process for all suppliers and subcontractors before approval, including:
Background Checks: Online searches to ensure organisations have never been convicted of offences relating to modern slavery.
On-Site Audits: Where deemed necessary, reviews of working conditions for subcontractors.
Contractual Requirements: Our policy forms part of our contract with all suppliers. Partners must confirm they:
Have taken steps to eradicate modern slavery within their business.
Hold their own suppliers to account over modern slavery.
Pay employees at least the National Minimum Wage / National Living Wage.
The company reserves the right to terminate any contract immediately should any instances of modern slavery be identified.
We conduct training to ensure our teams understand the signs of modern slavery and the reporting procedures:
Pre-Employment: “Right to Work” checks are carried out on all potential employees.
Senior Management: Formal training and guidance delivered by the Managing Director regarding legal and ethical obligations.
Field-Based Staff: New employees are briefed during induction on what to look for on-site. Updates are provided via team meetings and toolbox talks.
The company monitors the effectiveness of this policy through internal reviews and reports from employees, the public, or law enforcement.
Responsibility: The Managing Director holds lead responsibility for compliance.
Review: This policy is reviewed at least annually with the General Manager (incorporating HR), Technical Manager, and Supervisors to ensure it meets all legal obligations.
We encourage and welcome feedback to improve our practices. Any concerns regarding this policy or our service levels are dealt with quickly and effectively through our formal complaints procedure.
