Modern Slavery Act Policy

Modern Slavery Statement
Financial Year 2026/2027
 
Introduction

This statement sets out Recarta IT Limited’s approach to understanding and addressing the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains.

Recarta takes its responsibilities seriously and is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly and to improving its practices where appropriate to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.

This statement relates to Recarta’s financial year 2026/2027.

Our Business

Recarta IT Limited provides IT products, managed services and professional services to organisations across a range of public and private-sector industries.

Our supply chain includes providers of IT hardware, managed services, including cloud and data centre services, together with subcontracted services and contracted labour where applicable.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise both through employment and recruitment practices and through third parties within supply chains. We therefore seek to maintain controls that are appropriate and proportionate to the nature of the relationships involved.

Policies Relating to Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking

Recarta is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place within our business or supply chains.

Our approach is supported by existing policies and procedures, including:

• Recruitment & Screening Policy, which establishes requirements for recruitment and pre-employment screening, including identity and mandatory right-to-work checks.
• Employee Handbook, which establishes standards of conduct and includes Recarta’s whistleblowing arrangements for reporting suspected wrongdoing.
• Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy, which supports Recarta’s wider commitment to lawful and ethical business conduct.
• Supplier Security Policy, which establishes controls for the selection, management and ongoing review of suppliers.

Together, these arrangements provide a framework to support responsible recruitment, ethical conduct, supplier oversight and the identification and escalation of concerns.

Due Diligence

Recarta applies proportionate controls to help manage risks within both its workforce and supply chain.

Recruitment and employment

Recarta’s Recruitment & Screening Policy applies to permanent, temporary and contract appointments. Pre-employment screening is undertaken on a risk-based and proportionate basis and includes identity verification and mandatory right-to-work checks before work begins.

Additional checks may be undertaken where appropriate to the role or contractual requirements. Recarta also maintains requirements governing the use of approved recruitment agencies, contractors and screening providers.

Suppliers

Recarta maintains supplier-management arrangements covering the selection and ongoing review of relevant suppliers.

Supplier controls are applied according to the nature of the supplier and the products or services being provided. Recarta’s existing supplier process includes scheduled supplier reviews and consideration of matters including supplier status, performance issues and identified non-conformities.

Where concerns or non-conformities are identified, these can be recorded, reviewed and followed up through Recarta’s established supplier-management processes.

During FY2026/27, Recarta will review how modern slavery and labour-practice risks can be incorporated appropriately into its existing supplier review arrangements.

Measuring our Effectiveness

Recarta reviews the effectiveness of its approach using information available through its established HR and supplier-management processes.

Relevant measures include:

• completion of mandatory right-to-work checks before work begins;
• completion of required pre-employment screening;
• completion of scheduled supplier reviews;
• modern slavery or labour-practice concerns identified through relevant reporting arrangements and the follow-up actions taken; and
• relevant supplier non-conformities or material changes in supplier risk and their appropriate review.

These measures will be reviewed periodically to ensure that they remain proportionate and meaningful, and may be developed as Recarta’s approach to modern slavery risk continues to evolve.

Training & Awareness
Recarta recognises that employees involved in recruitment, supplier selection and supplier management have an important part to play in identifying and escalating potential concerns.

During FY2026/27, Recarta will review our modern slavery awareness arrangements for employees undertaking activities where relevant modern slavery or supply-chain risks may arise.

Employees are also able to raise concerns about suspected unlawful or unethical conduct through Recarta’s established management and whistleblowing arrangements.
