Anti‑Slavery, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation
of fundamental human rights
Blue 9 Security Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. We operate a zero-tolerance approach and expect the same high standards from everyone we work with.
About Us
Blue 9 Security Ltd is a UK-based provider of manned guarding, mobile response, CCTV monitoring, and specialist protective services. As part of the private security sector, we recognise our responsibility to prevent exploitation, protect vulnerable people, and uphold the highest ethical standards.
Our commitment
We are committed to:
- A zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking.
- Ethical procurement and fair employment practices.
- Ensuring all staff, subcontractors, and suppliers meet their legal and ethical obligations.
Our approach matches the size and risk profile of our business and aligns with UK law, recognised best practice, and public sector expectations.
Legal Framework and Voluntary Statement
This policy aligns with the Modern Slavery Act and Section 54 requirements on transparency in supply chains. Our annual turnover is below the £36 million threshold, so we are not legally required to publish a Modern Slavery Statement. However, we choose to do so to show ethical leadership, build client trust, and meet security sector best practice.
Risk Assessment and Due Diligence
We assess risks relating to:
- Recruitment of security staff and use of labour agencies.
- Subcontracted guarding providers.
- Uniform and equipment suppliers.
- Temporary staff providers.
We apply due diligence by:
- Recruiting staff directly wherever possible.
- Verifying identity, right to work, and employment status.
- Using reputable UK-based suppliers.
- Refusing to engage suppliers who cannot show lawful and ethical employment practices.
- Maintaining an approved supplier list.
- Investigating any concerns or suspicious practices promptly.

- Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy

- Recognising signs of modern slavery.

We encourage openness and will support anyone raising genuine concerns in good faith. No one will suffer detrimental treatment for reporting a concern.
