Modern slavery

​

This is the modern slavery statement of Interval Group. In this statement, "Interval", "we", "our" and "us" refer to the companies operating under the Interval brand, details of which are set out in our Legal notice.

​

Introduction

Interval does not meet the turnover threshold in section 54(1) of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and is therefore not required to publish an annual statement. We publish one voluntarily, because we consider the issue important and because our clients and candidates are entitled to know where we stand.

​

Our business

Interval provides specialist recruitment and consulting services. We place permanent, fixed-term and contract professionals with client organisations, and deliver consulting engagements under statements of work.

​

The business is led by two Managing Partners, with people and contractors working across the UK, Europe and worldwide, mostly remotely or at our clients' premises. We are a services business and do not operate manufacturing or logistics.

​

Where our risk lies

The most significant risk in a business like ours is not in buying goods, but in the workers we place and the way they are recruited and paid. Exploitation in staffing typically takes the form of debt bondage through recruitment fees, withheld or diverted wages, retained identity documents, and control exercised through third-party intermediaries such as umbrella companies.

​

We treat that as our primary area of attention. Our secondary area is our supply chain, which is mainly professional services and software.

​

What we do about it

Candidates and contractors we place

• We never charge candidates a fee to find or take work.

• We verify identity and right to work for everyone we place, and carry out background screening where the role requires it, in line with our documented recruitment procedure.

• We meet or speak with candidates directly rather than relying solely on intermediaries.

• Where an intermediary such as an umbrella company is involved in paying a worker we have placed, we check who they are and what the worker will actually receive.

• We are alert to indicators of exploitation: an inability to speak freely, wages paid into an account controlled by someone else, documents held by a third party, unexplained deductions, or repeated placements arranged by the same intermediary. Anyone at Interval who sees an indicator is required to raise it with a Managing Partner.

 

Our own people

• We recruit directly and carry out identity, right to work and reference checks before anyone joins.

• Everyone is paid in accordance with the law of the country in which they work, directly and into an account in their own name.

• Modern slavery awareness forms part of our induction training, and our Business Code of Conduct and policies are acknowledged by everyone who joins.

 

Our suppliers

• Suppliers are required to meet the standards in our Supplier Code of Conduct, which prohibits forced labour, bonded labour, child labour and human trafficking, and requires suppliers to apply equivalent standards in their own supply chains.

• We assess new suppliers before engaging them, and maintain an approved supplier list that is reviewed annually.

• Where a supplier does not meet our standards, we will work with them to put it right where we can, and end the relationship where we cannot. A breach of applicable law is a material breach of our supplier terms.

 

Reporting a concern

Anyone, inside or outside Interval, can raise a concern about modern slavery in our business or our supply chain by contacting hello@intervalgroup.com or a Managing Partner directly. Concerns can be raised in confidence.

​

No one who raises a genuine concern will suffer any detriment for doing so. Our Whistleblowing Policy sets out how concerns are handled.

​

Governance and review

This statement is approved by the Managing Partners, who are accountable for its content. Modern slavery risk is considered as part of our management review, alongside supplier performance and compliance.

​

We review this statement at least annually.
