Our Commitment to Compliance and Industry Standards

At Contract Personnel, compliance is at the heart of everything we do. As a recruitment agency operating across multiple sectors, we understand the responsibility that comes with supplying workforce solutions to our clients and ensuring the fair treatment and wellbeing of the people we place.

To maintain the highest standards, we are proud members of several respected industry organisations and business networks. These memberships ensure that we stay up to date with legislation, follow best practice in recruitment, and continue to operate transparently and ethically.

Below we highlight the organisations we work with and how they help us remain compliant while delivering the best possible service to our clients and candidates.

Association of Labour Providers (ALP)

The Association of Labour Providers is a specialist trade association that promotes responsible recruitment and best practice for organisations supplying workers across sectors such as agriculture, food production, logistics and manufacturing.

How ALP helps us stay compliant

Membership provides access to expert guidance, compliance tools and industry updates that help labour providers meet their legal and ethical responsibilities. The organisation also works closely with government bodies and regulators to shape policy affecting the labour supply industry.

Benefits for our clients and workers

• Guidance on responsible recruitment practices
• Tools and resources for compliance audits and due diligence
• Support for preventing worker exploitation and modern slavery
• Up-to-date information on changes to employment legislation

Being part of the ALP demonstrates our commitment to ethical recruitment and responsible labour supply chains.

Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC)

The REC is the professional body for the UK recruitment industry, representing thousands of recruitment businesses and driving standards across the sector.

How REC helps us stay compliant

REC members must pass a compliance assessment and adhere to the organisation’s Code of Professional Practice, which sets standards for ethics, transparency and legal compliance in recruitment.

Benefits for our clients and candidates

• Assurance that we follow professional recruitment standards
• Access to legal advice and employment law expertise

Logistics UK

Logistics UK is one of the largest business groups representing companies involved in the logistics and supply chain sector.

How Logistics UK helps us stay compliant

GLAA Licence

We maintain a GLAA licence to ensure our business operates legally and ethically when supplying workers into regulated sectors. GLAA stands for the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, the UK regulator responsible for licensing labour providers and protecting workers from exploitation.

Being licensed demonstrates our commitment to complying with UK labour laws, treating workers fairly, and ensuring safe working conditions.

It also provides reassurance to our clients that we meet the required regulatory and ethical standards when supplying labour.
