Goodman Masson Limited is a professional recruitment and search consultancy providing permanent, interim, contract and SOW staffing solutions across a wide range of disciplines, including finance, technology, and other professional services, operating across multiple industry sectors.
The business does not engage subcontractors in the delivery of its services. Goodman Masson Limited has a relatively small and low-risk supply chain, consisting mainly of professional service providers, payroll services, IT systems and office services. All suppliers are subject to proportionate due diligence and are reviewed on at least an annual basis.
Goodman Masson is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships. The following policies support our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking:
• Modern Slavery Policy
• Code of Conduct
• Whistleblowing Policy
• Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy
• Safeguarding Policy
• Responsible and Ethical Sourcing Policy
These policies set out the standards expected of employees and suppliers and are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain effective and appropriate.
As part of its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking, Goodman Masson operates robust due diligence processes within its business and supply chains. These include:
• Verification of identity and right-to-work checks for all candidates
• Compliance checks aligned with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements
• Proportionate due diligence on suppliers during onboarding and ongoing review
• Clear reporting mechanisms for employees to raise concerns confidentially
Any concerns raised are investigated promptly and addressed in line with company policies.
Due to the nature of its operations as a professional recruitment consultancy, Goodman Masson considers the overall risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within its business and supply chains to be low. Potential risk areas may include the use of temporary labour and engagement with third-party suppliers.
To mitigate these risks, the business has an in-house compliance team who undertake appropriate candidate compliance checks, limits its use of suppliers to a small number of trusted providers, and requires adherence to relevant policies and ethical standards.
Goodman Masson monitors the effectiveness of its approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking through the following measures:
• Mandatory annual modern slavery training for all staff
• Ongoing compliance and right-to-work checks
• Annual review of suppliers and relevant policies
• Monitoring and reporting of any incidents or concerns
During the financial year 2024/25, no incidents of modern slavery or human trafficking were identified within the business or its supply chains.
All employees working at Goodman Masson are educated on the issues relating to Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking and identifying the potential signs of this. All staff who are responsible for recruitment receive additional information in relation to our recruitment principles and are required to comply with our code of practice.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Goodman Masson Limited’s Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement for the financial year 2025/26.
