MODERN SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT FY2025-2026

Introduction from the Board

Slavery and human trafficking remain a blight on our global society, and we acknowledge our responsibility to be alert to the risks within our own business and in the wider supply chain.

This statement sets out QUBA’s assessment of any potential modern slavery risks related to its business and the steps it has put in place to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in its own business and its supply chains. It relates to the financial year ending on 30 June 2026.

Our Supply Chain

QUBA is committed to acting ethically and we expect all our suppliers to make the same commitment. QUBA will address any failures by its suppliers to meet our standards on a case-by-case basis. If we are not satisfied with the outcome of our enquiries and/or investigation, we may cease to trade with the relevant supplier.

Our Policies on Slavery & Human Trafficking

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy, as updated in September 2026, reflects our commitment to always acting ethically and with integrity throughout our business relationships.

Due Diligence for Slavery & Human Trafficking

As part of our policy and procedures to identify any risk, we ensure that:

• We include specific prohibitions against any form of modern slavery or human trafficking in our contractual requirements with suppliers. We expect our suppliers to adhere to the same high standards and take steps to ensure this approach is reflected in their supply chains.
• We monitor the assignments we fund to ensure that workers’ hours and pay are accurate and adheres to agreed contractual provisions.
• We have implemented a digital identity verification system that enables the agencies we fund to conduct more robust identity and right to work checks.
• Where possible, we speak with agency partners to ensure that workers are provided with adequate support throughout their assignment.
• We aim to build long standing relationships with suppliers and clients and always make our expectations clear in respect of business practices and ethics.
• We aim to work with suppliers which are members of their appropriate trade association.
• We encourage all our workers, customers and other business partners to report any concerns related to our business activities and supply chains. This may be carried out in accordance with our Whistleblowing Policy.
• With regards to international supply chains, our primary point of contact is preferably with a UK company or branch, and we expect these entities to have suitable anti slavery and human trafficking policies and procedures which mirror our own policies and procedures.

Supplier Adherence

We have a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking. We expect all those in our supply chain and any contractors to comply with the values set out in this document. Where appropriate, we will take action to address any supplier non-compliance, which may include reviewing or ending the business relationship

Training

To promote a high level of understanding and engagement, we provide regular training on potential warning signs of slavery and human trafficking and how to raise concerns. As many of our employees have touch points with our supply chain (specifically with agencies and umbrella providers) we consider it appropriate for all employees to be trained to the same standard and understanding, regardless of position and job title within the organisation. All staff members are encouraged and regularly reminded to raise any concerns that they may have either to their manager or the Head of HR.

We are enhancing our training programme by introducing an improved system that will support more technically advanced learning for staff. The new programme will be implemented throughout 2026-27.

Measuring Our Effectiveness

In the last financial year, there were no modern slavery risk incidents reported to
management.
We use the several leading and lagging measures to assess how effective we have been in
combatting modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply
chain, including but not limited to:

• Records of mandatory training;
• Real time review of reports raised in line with our Whistleblowing Policy;
• Due diligence screening of clients;
• Ongoing auditing of umbrella service providers;
• Monitoring of contractual terms with agencies, clients and workers; and
• Ongoing communications and personal contact with agency partners and other
  supply chain members to ensure their level of compliance and understanding
  matches our own.
