Modern Slavery Statement

Published in connection with section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, for the financial year 2025/26.

Financial year 2025/26 · Approved 6 April 2026

Prism Integrated Security Solutions Ltd (“Prism”, “we”, “us”) is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships, and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any part of our supply chain.

Prism’s size and turnover place us below the statutory reporting threshold in section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, so we are not required to publish this statement. We publish it anyway, because transparency on this issue matters to our customers, employees and partners — particularly given our role: our engineers work inside people’s homes and businesses, and the systems we install protect them. A company asking to be trusted with that should be able to say plainly how it treats the people who do the work. We update this statement annually.

1. Our commitment

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and child labour, in every form the Act describes. We expect the same standard from every contractor, supplier and business partner we engage, and we expect our suppliers to hold their own suppliers to it too.

2. Our business and supply chains

Prism is a UK-based provider of integrated security systems — intruder alarms, fire detection, CCTV and video surveillance, access control, and MediCare personal alarm systems — for residential and commercial customers. We are headquartered in London — our registered office — and coordinate nationwide field operations from our Cheshire office. Our engineering and office staff are directly employed; where demand requires it we use vetted subcontracted engineers.

Our supply chains are short and largely UK and EU based. They comprise:

  • manufacturers and distributors of security hardware — principally Ajax Systems, whose equipment is manufactured in Europe, supplied through established UK distribution
  • subcontracted installation and maintenance engineers
  • our alarm receiving centre partner, EMCS (Nottingham) — itself NSI Gold approved and subject to that scheme's independent audit
  • IT, software and telecommunications providers supporting our signalling and monitoring infrastructure
  • general business services — vehicles, facilities, office supplies and professional services

3. Our policies

  • Direct recruitment and right to work. All staff are recruited directly, never through third-party labour providers, and every employee’s right to work in the UK is verified before employment begins, in line with Home Office requirements.
  • Personnel screening to BS 7858. Employees and subcontracted engineers are security-screened to BS 7858, the security industry’s screening standard — identity, right to work, employment history and criminal record — before they attend a customer’s premises. Screening records are held and reviewed centrally.
  • Supplier expectations. We expect suppliers and subcontractors to comply with all applicable employment and anti-slavery legislation in the jurisdictions where they operate, and we ask them to confirm it.
  • Whistleblowing. Anyone working for or with Prism can raise a concern about modern slavery or unethical conduct with their line manager or a Director, without fear of reprisal.
  • Business ethics. Our approach to business requires honesty and integrity in all dealings with suppliers, customers and colleagues, including our anti-bribery standards.

4. Due diligence

As part of our efforts to identify and mitigate risk, we:

  • build long-term relationships with a small number of established suppliers, and set clear expectations of business ethics and behaviour
  • use established manufacturers and distributors with UK and European operations for security hardware wherever possible
  • review and approve every new supplier and subcontractor relationship before engagement — a subcontractor is registered, screened and approved for a defined scope of work before their first job, and our records show who approved them and when
  • ask suppliers and subcontracted engineers to confirm compliance with UK employment law and the Modern Slavery Act 2015
  • investigate, and act on, any concern raised about labour standards in our supply chain

5. Risk assessment

We assess the risk of modern slavery occurring within our own business as low: our staff are directly employed, individually screened, and work in the UK under UK employment law. We assess the risk in our direct supply chain as low for the same reasons — established UK and EU partners, several of them independently audited under their own certification schemes.

We recognise that risk is higher in lower-tier supply chains we have less visibility of — in particular raw component manufacture overseas for electronic hardware — and that this is where diligence matters most. We keep this assessment under annual review, or sooner if our supply chain or business model changes materially.

6. Training and awareness

Staff involved in procurement and supplier management understand the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains, and know how to raise concerns. Modern slavery awareness forms part of induction, and we will formalise ongoing training as the business grows.

7. Measuring effectiveness

We measure how effective these steps have been against the following indicators, reviewed by the Directors:

  • no reports or substantiated concerns of modern slavery or human trafficking in our business or direct supply chain
  • 100% of employees verified for right to work before their start date
  • 100% of engineers — employed or subcontracted — screened to BS 7858 before their first customer visit
  • a year-on-year increase in the proportion of key suppliers formally confirming compliance with our supplier expectations

8. Approval

This statement was approved by the Board of Directors of Prism Integrated Security Solutions Ltd on 6 April 2026, in respect of the financial year 2025/26. It is reviewed and re-published annually.
