Modern Slavery Statement
Last updated: February 2026
1. Introduction
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It sets out the steps that Brity Group Limited ("we", "us", "our", or "Brity") has taken and continues to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, including slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person's liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
2. Our Commitment
Brity Group Limited is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We are dedicated to ensuring that modern slavery, in all its forms, has no place in our business or in any part of our supply chain.
We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and expect the same high standards from all of our suppliers, contractors, and other business partners. We will not knowingly support or deal with any business involved in slavery or human trafficking.
3. Our Business
Brity Group Limited is a provider of first aid, health and safety, and professional development training services. We operate across the United Kingdom, delivering training to individuals and organisations across various sectors.
Our business activities primarily involve the provision of training services, and we employ a mix of permanent staff and freelance trainers to deliver our courses. We are committed to ensuring all individuals who work for us or on our behalf are treated fairly and with respect.
4. Our Supply Chain
Our supply chain includes:
- Freelance trainers and assessors
- Training venue providers
- Equipment and consumables suppliers
- Technology and software providers
- Professional services (legal, accounting, marketing)
- Awarding bodies and certification organisations
We are committed to working with suppliers and partners who share our values and commitment to ethical business practices.
5. Our Policies
We have implemented policies and procedures to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chain. These include:
Clear prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory, or trafficked labour.
Fair and transparent recruitment practices, with verification of right to work.
A confidential reporting mechanism for concerns about unethical conduct.
Requirements for suppliers to comply with anti-slavery standards.
These policies apply to all persons working for us or on our behalf, including employees, contractors, consultants, and third-party representatives.
6. Due Diligence
As part of our efforts to identify and mitigate modern slavery risks, we undertake the following due diligence processes:
- Vetting and verification of new suppliers and partners
- Verification of identity and right to work for all employees and contractors
- Regular review of supplier relationships and performance
- Inclusion of anti-slavery clauses in contracts with suppliers
- Ongoing monitoring of supply chain risks
All new supplier contracts include anti-slavery clauses requiring compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and the right to audit or terminate the contract if non-compliance is suspected.
7. Risk Assessment
We assess the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain based on factors including:
- The nature of the goods or services being provided
- The geographical location of suppliers
- The sector in which suppliers operate
- Use of agency or temporary workers
- Presence of vulnerable workers
Given the nature of our business as a training provider operating primarily in the UK, we consider our overall risk of modern slavery to be low. However, we recognise that risk can change and therefore we continuously review our supply chain.
UK-based professional services, awarding bodies, and certification organisations
Venue providers, equipment suppliers, and technology service providers
Temporary labour, overseas suppliers, or suppliers with complex labour chains
8. Modern Slavery Risk Indicators
We train our staff to recognise potential indicators of modern slavery. Warning signs that may suggest a person is being exploited include:
- • Workers paid below minimum wage or excessive deductions from wages
- • No right-to-work documentation or identity documents held by employer
- • Workers appearing fearful, withdrawn, or showing signs of abuse
- • Restrictions on worker movement or communication
- • Workers housed by the employer in poor conditions
- • Workers unable to speak for themselves or always accompanied
- • Unexplained fees or debt bondage arrangements
- • Suppliers reluctant to provide workforce information
9. Future Actions
We will continue to review and strengthen our approach to preventing modern slavery. Our planned actions include:
- Increasing supplier due diligence checks for all new and existing suppliers
- Conducting periodic supplier audits where appropriate, particularly for medium and high-risk suppliers
- Extending modern slavery awareness training to all new and existing suppliers
- Publishing a supplier questionnaire for high-risk suppliers to assess their own anti-slavery measures
- Reviewing and updating our supplier contracts to strengthen anti-slavery clauses
- Engaging with industry bodies to share best practice on modern slavery prevention
We are committed to continuous improvement and will report on our progress in future statements.
10. Training & Awareness
We ensure that awareness of modern slavery issues is raised throughout our organisation:
- All staff are made aware of our Modern Slavery Policy during induction
- Regular updates and reminders are provided to all staff
- Key personnel involved in recruitment and procurement receive specific training on identifying signs of modern slavery
- We actively encourage anyone working with or for us to report any concerns
11. Reporting Concerns
We are committed to fostering a culture of openness. We encourage anyone who has concerns about modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain to report them.
- Speak to your line manager or a director
- Email us at info@brity.co.uk
- Use our confidential whistleblowing procedure

All reports will be investigated promptly and treated confidentially. Where modern slavery is suspected, we will involve statutory agencies and follow safeguarding procedures. We will support anyone who raises concerns in good faith and ensure they do not suffer any detrimental treatment as a result.
12. Breaches of Policy
Any employee who breaches this policy may face disciplinary action, which could include dismissal for misconduct or gross misconduct.
Where suppliers, contractors, or partners are found to be in breach of our anti-slavery requirements, we reserve the right to terminate the business relationship immediately.
13. Review
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness. We are committed to improving our practices and taking further steps to combat slavery and human trafficking.
This statement has been approved by the Chief Executive Officer of Brity Group Limited and will be reviewed and updated as necessary.
