Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Walker Fire UK Ltd is committed to conducting all business operations with integrity and respect for human
rights. We fully support the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and oppose all forms of slavery,
servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking.

This statement sets out the steps taken during the financial year ending 31 October 2025 to identify,
prevent, and address the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply
chains.

Our Business and Structure

Walker Fire UK Ltd is a leading provider of fire protection and security services across the United Kingdom. We
offer fire safety equipment supply, installation, maintenance, and servicing, alongside electronic security
systems and risk assessment services.

• Head Office: Unit 81, Roman Way Industrial Estate, Longridge Road, Preston, PR2 5BB

Our Supply Chains

Our supply chains include:

• Fire safety equipment and component manufacturers
• Security system suppliers and technology providers
• Contractors and subcontractors providing specialist installation and maintenance services
• Uniform, PPE and vehicle suppliers
• Office consumables and facility management suppliers

While most of our suppliers are based in the UK or EU, we recognise that certain goods (such as electronic
components or raw materials) may originate from higher-risk regions.

Our Policies on Modern Slavery and Human Rights

We have implemented a dedicated Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy (November 2025) which
reinforces our commitment to ethical conduct and transparency. Supporting policies include:

• Ethical Procurement & Supplier Code of Conduct
• Recruitment and Employment Policy
• Whistleblowing Policy
• Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy
• Health, Safety & Wellbeing Policy

These collectively ensure that all employees, contractors, and suppliers uphold our ethical standards and legal
obligations.

Governance and Responsibility

The Managing Director has overall accountability for our compliance with the Modern Slavery Act
2015.

• Procurement and HR teams ensure supplier due diligence and fair recruitment practices are
embedded into our processes.
• All employees are responsible for reporting any concerns related to potential modern slavery or human trafficking.

Due Diligence and Risk Management

We continue to develop and implement risk-based due diligence processes to identify and mitigate modern
slavery risks:
• Supplier onboarding: All new suppliers complete a pre-qualification questionnaire confirming
compliance with anti-slavery legislation and ethical standards.
• Contractual obligations: Supplier agreements include clauses requiring adherence to the Modern
Slavery Act 2015 and Walker Fire’s policy.
• Risk assessment: We review suppliers based on geographic location, industry sector, and use of
subcontracted labour.
• Audits and reviews: We conduct periodic supplier audits or request supporting evidence of their own
anti-slavery policies and controls.
• Remedial action: Where non-compliance or risk is identified, we work collaboratively with suppliers to address issues or, if necessary, terminate contracts.

Training and Awareness

We have established training and awareness programmes to ensure employees understand modern slavery
risks and their responsibilities.

• All new starters receive induction on our ethical and human rights policies.
• Procurement, HR, and operational staff receive targeted training to identify warning signs of forced or
exploitative labour.
• Refresher sessions and updated materials are delivered annually or as legislation and guidance evolve.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

Walker Fire maintains confidential channels for employees, suppliers, or other stakeholders to raise concerns
related to unethical behaviour or suspected modern slavery.
• Concerns can be reported directly to the HR Department or anonymously via our whistleblowing
mechanism.
• We ensure no retaliation against anyone raising a genuine concern in good faith.
• All reports are investigated promptly and appropriate actions taken, which may include engagement with law enforcement authorities.

Effectiveness and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

To measure the effectiveness of our efforts, we monitor:

• Percentage of suppliers completing modern slavery due diligence forms
• Number of staff trained on modern slavery awareness
• Number of supplier audits or spot checks completed
• Number of reported incidents and outcomes
• Review and update frequency of relevant policies

No instances of modern slavery or human trafficking were identified within Walker Fire UK Ltd or its direct
supply chain during the reporting period.

Looking Ahead (2025-2026 Objectives)

Over the next 12 months, we will: 1. Expand supplier audits to include random site checks for high-risk categories.
