Modern Slavery Statement

Section 54, Modern Slavery Act 2015

What the Act requires

Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires a commercial organisation carrying on business in the UK with an annual turnover above the statutory threshold to publish an annual statement setting out the steps it has taken during the relevant financial year to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in its own business or in any of its supply chains.

The Act specifies the areas a statement may address, including the organisation's structure, business and supply chains; its policies in relation to slavery and human trafficking; its due diligence processes; the parts of its business and supply chains where there is a risk of slavery or human trafficking taking place, and the steps it has taken to assess and manage that risk; its effectiveness in ensuring slavery and human trafficking are not taking place, measured against appropriate performance indicators; and the training on slavery and human trafficking made available to its staff.

The Act requires the statement to be approved by the organisation's board (or equivalent management body) and signed by a director or designated member before publication.
