Modern Slavery Statement and Policy

Two documents in one. Part A is an internal anti-slavery and human trafficking policy. Part B is a modern slavery statement for publishing on your website, written around the six areas recommended by the Home Office. Parts C to E give you the supplier checks, risk assessment and publication checklist that sit behind the statement.

• If your turnover is at or above the section 54 threshold (currently £36 million), a statement is a legal requirement every financial year
• If you are smaller, a voluntary statement helps when larger customers or public sector buyers ask about modern slavery
• Whenever you take on new suppliers, especially labour providers

• Check whether you are legally required to publish (Part B guidance)
• Complete the risk assessment in Part D first and write the statement from what you actually do
• Have the statement approved by the board and signed by a director
• Publish it with a link on your homepage and upload it to the government registry
