Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction

At Brightwings Education Limited, we are firmly committed to conducting our business responsibly, ethically, and with the highest standards. We recognise the importance of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and are dedicated to ensuring that our operations and supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Brightwings Education Limited operates as an SME, providing soft skills training services to businesses and educational institutions. We pride ourselves on maintaining a lean, transparent operation to deliver our training services.

Our supply chains primarily consist of reputable software, financial services, and communication providers. These entities are recognised and have a consistent track record of adhering to local and international legal and ethical standards.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

Given our operational scale and the nature of our suppliers, we assess the risk of modern slavery within our direct operations as low. However, we are not complacent. We have implemented due diligence processes to ensure that our suppliers uphold the same values and standards against modern slavery.

Policies

We have adopted a Modern Slavery and Ethical Behaviour Policy that reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. This policy is communicated to our employees and is available to our partners and stakeholders.

Training and Capacity Building

All our employees receive awareness training on the Modern Slavery Act and are informed about recognising potential risks and mitigating them. We believe in empowering our staff with the knowledge to prevent any potential breach of ethical conduct.

Reporting

We have established channels for our employees and stakeholders to report concerns about unethical behaviour, ensuring anonymity and protection from retaliation.

Continuous Review

We regularly review our policies, practices, and supply chains to ensure that we're doing everything we can to combat modern slavery and human trafficking.

Approval

This statement has been approved by Brightwings Education Limited's leadership and will be reviewed and updated annually.
