ANTI-SLAVERY
What is NonStop doing about GDPR.
As a business we are committed to continuous improvement, ensuring we hold ourselves to appropriate standards and provide a high level of service to candidates and clients.
We store candidate (job seeker) information in order to help people find new jobs and use that information to match them with suitable roles or employers. Should we find a good match, we will share that information with the potential employer and occasionally other third party suppliers such as payroll or umbrella companies.
As a client, you can expect that we store your professional, and sometimes personal data – your mobile number, for example, if you have given this to us – in order to ensure we find the right potential employees for you. Though the GDPR does not treat professional data to the same level as it does personal data, you can be assured we treat your information with the utmost care.
We always make sure everyone knows who their personal information is being shared with and why it is being shared BEFORE we share anything.
GDPR stipulates that anyone has the right to know how their personal data is stored and used. If you would like information on how your personal data is stored and used, please contact [email protected].
We have worked closely with APSCo, the Association of Professional Staffing Companies, to determine the impact of GDPR on the recruitment industry.
Although we are a Luxembourg-headquartered business, English is our main language and therefore we will follow GDPR guidance from, and be accountable to, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Anti-slavery statement.
NonStop Consulting Ltd | 11 Westferry Circus | London E14 4HD | United Kingdom
NonStop Consulting Anti-Slavery Statement
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in mcommon the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. NonStop Consulting has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.
We are also committed to ensuring there is transparency in our own business and in our approach to
tackling modern slavery throughout our supply chains, consistent with our disclosure obligations
under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business
partners, and as part of our contracting processes, in the coming year we will include specific
prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or
servitude, whether adults or children, and we expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers
to the same high standards.
This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees
at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents,
contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives and business partners.
This policy does not form part of any employee’s contract of employment and we may amend it at
any time.
Responsibility for the policy
NonStop Consulting has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and
ethical obligations, and that all those under our control comply with it.
NonStop Consulting has primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy,
monitoring its use and effectiveness, dealing with any queries about it, and auditing internal control
systems and procedures to ensure they are effective in countering modern slavery.
Management at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and
comply with this policy and are given adequate and regular training on it and the issue of modern
slavery in supply chains.
You are invited to comment on this policy and suggest ways in which it might be improved.
Comments, suggestions and queries are encouraged and should be addressed to the Managing
Director.
NonStop Consulting Ltd | 25 Canada Square | Canary Wharf | London E14 5LQ | United Kingdom
Compliance with the policy
You must ensure that you read, understand and comply with this policy.
The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply
chains is the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control.
You are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.
You must notify your line manager OR a company Director as soon as possible if you believe or
suspect that a conflict with this policy has occurred or may occur in the future.
You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of
our business or supply chains of any supplier tier at the earliest possible stage.
If you believe or suspect a breach of this policy has occurred or that it may occur, you must notify
your line manager or company Director OR report it in accordance with our Whistleblowing Policy as
soon as possible.
You should note that where appropriate, and with the welfare and safety of local workers as a
priority, we will give support and guidance to our suppliers to help them address coercive, abusive
and exploitative work practices in their own business and supply chains.
If you are unsure about whether a particular act, the treatment of workers more generally, or their
working conditions within any tier of our supply chains constitutes any of the various forms of
modern slavery, raise it with your line manager or company Director.
We aim to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith
under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken. We are committed to ensuring no one suffers
any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery
of whatever form is or may be taking place in any part of our own business or in any of our supply
chains.
Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable
treatment connected with raising a concern.
If you believe that you have suffered any such treatment, you should inform your line manager
immediately. If the matter is not remedied, and you are an employee, you should raise it formally
using our Grievance Procedure, which can be found in the current employee handbook.
This Modern (Anti) Slavery Policy and Statement is intended for businesses in all countries, especially
the United Kingdom.
NonStop Consulting Ltd | 25 Canada Square | Canary Wharf | London E14 5LQ | United Kingdom
Communication & awareness of this policy
Training on this policy, and on the risk our business faces from modern slavery in its supply chains,
forms part of the induction process for all individuals who work for us, and updates will be provided
using established methods of communication between the business and you.
Our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery must be communicated to all suppliers, contractors
and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them and reinforced as
appropriate thereafter.
Breaches of this policy
Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal
for misconduct or gross misconduct. We may terminate our relationship with other individuals and
organisations working on our behalf if they breach this policy.
