anti slavery policy

Modern slavery & human trafficking statement 

We are committed to conducting our business responsibly and ethically. This includes a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any part of our operations or supply chain.

1. Our commitment

We believe that everyone has the right to live and work freely and with dignity. We are committed to acting with integrity in all our business relationships and to putting systems and controls in place to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our business or in our supply chain.

2. Our business and supply chain

Lawyerlink provides subscription-based legal services to small and medium-sized businesses across the UK. Our supply chain is limited and primarily involves technology providers, professional advisers, and business service suppliers. Although we consider the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain to be low, we remain vigilant and committed to preventing it.

3. Policies and procedures

To support our commitment, we have policies and processes that help to prevent and address modern slavery risks:

  • Supplier due diligence: We expect our suppliers to uphold high standards of ethics and compliance. Where appropriate, we conduct checks to ensure that suppliers meet our standards.

  • Employment practices: We follow fair recruitment and employment practices. All staff are employed voluntarily and are free to leave their employment in line with their contracts.

  • Whistleblowing: We encourage staff to report any concerns, including concerns about modern slavery or human trafficking, without fear of retaliation.

4. Training and awareness

We provide training and guidance to relevant staff to raise awareness of modern slavery risks and to ensure they understand how to identify and report concerns.

Continuous improvement

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. We review this statement regularly and continue to improve our practices to ensure that our business and supply chain remain free from modern slavery.
