Modern Slavery Statement

 

Version 2.0 1

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement (this ‘Statement’) will be reviewed

and updated on an annual basis by the Executive Director. Any minor changes will be

approved internally, while significant updates will be reviewed in line with legislative

changes and industry best practices.

Voluntary Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the ‘Act’)

and the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (Transparency in Supply Chains) Regulations 2015. This

Statement is published by LearnerBee Ltd (‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’, ‘Organisation’). This is our

statement for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 and outlines the steps we have taken

and will continue to take to identify, prevent, and address modern slavery within our

operations and supply chains.

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It manifests in

various forms, including slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking, all of

which involve the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another to exploit them for personal or

commercial gain.

We oppose slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. This Statement details the

measures we have implemented and continue to develop to identify potential risks of modern

slavery within LearnerBee Ltd and our supply chains. We are committed to ensuring ethical

business practices and working only with partners who share our zero-tolerance approach to

modern slavery.
