At Double EM Services Ltd, we uphold the principle that every individual is entitled to liberty and dignity, vehemently opposing any form of slavery, servitude, forced labour, or human trafficking. We adopt a strict zero-tolerance approach across all operations and supply chains.

Statutory Disclosure: Although Double EM Services Ltd falls below the £36 million statutory turnover threshold defined under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we voluntarily publish this statement to demonstrate our ethical standards and meet the compliance requirements of our public sector partners and local authority commissioners (including Staffordshire, Northamptonshire, and Devon).

Our Business and Organisational Structure

Double EM Services Ltd is a UK-based provider specialising in CQC-regulated domiciliary care, supported living for adults, healthcare staffing, facilities management, and human resources support. Our safeguarding arrangements comprehensively cover both adults and children.

Our organisational governance includes:

  • Managing Director: Overall accountability and board oversight.
  • Registered Manager: Operational compliance and CQC regulatory adherence.
  • Human Resources: Safer recruitment, DBS checks, Right-to-Work audits, and staff welfare.
  • Care Co-ordinators: Safe rostering, ongoing supervision, and direct care quality monitoring.
  • Office Co-ordinator: Procurement due diligence and supplier relationships.
  • Frontline Support Workers & Nurses: Delivery of compassionate, ethical care.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

Our supply chains consist predominantly of UK-based suppliers providing healthcare training, DBS/identity verification platforms, IT and telecoms, uniforms, medical PPE, office supplies, and maintenance. Where agency staffing or third-party labor providers are engaged, we treat this as higher-risk and apply enhanced due diligence:

  • Verification that all workers receive pay at or above the UK National Living Wage into their own designated bank accounts.
  • Rigorous pre-employment checks: Enhanced DBS, verified identity, Right to Work in the UK, employment history, and references.
  • Zero tolerance for recruitment fees being charged to workers.
  • Regular review of supplier agreements with clear anti-slavery clauses and termination rights for non-compliance.

Risk Assessment & Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

We proactively monitor workforce compliance to identify risks early. Internal performance indicators tracked by management include:

Staff Awareness & Whistleblowing

All employees undergo induction and annual refresher training covering modern slavery indicators, human trafficking identification, safeguarding, and whistleblowing. Staff have clear, confidential reporting channels to escalate concerns directly without fear of reprisal.

If you suspect modern slavery or exploitation, contact our office immediately or report confidentially to the Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline on 08000 121 700.
