Modern Slavery Policy FAQs

Do I Need a Modern Slavery Policy?

Does your business turn over more than £36,000,000 annually? In that case, you are required to have a modern slavery policy published on your website, which explains the steps your business is taking to reduce the possibility of human slavery across the supply chain.

Does a Small Business Need a Modern Slavery Policy?

No. You must only make a slavery and human trafficking statement each year if your business earns over a certain amount. Although a small business doesn’t need to publish a modern slavery policy by law, you still have the option to publish a modern slavery policy. This doesn’t necessarily have any legal benefits; however, it looks good to internal and external stakeholders.

What is the Modern Slavery Act in the UK?

The Modern Slavery Act (2015) was put in place to protect against human trafficking, slavery, and all forms of exploitation across the supply chain of materials. Commercial companies earning over £36,000,000 annually are required to publish a slavery and human trafficking statement each year.

A modern slavery policy/statement should cover:

• Organisational structure and details of your material supply chains

• Key performance indicators (KPIs)
• Slavery and trafficking training
