At Ludlow University, we are committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. We recognise our responsibility to uphold fundamental human rights and ethical standards across our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines our commitment to preventing modern slavery and our actions to address this issue effectively.
Our Commitment
Ludlow University is dedicated to promoting and maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability. We condemn all forms of modern slavery, including forced labor, servitude, human trafficking, and child labor.

Our Approach
We are committed to implementing robust policies, procedures, and controls to prevent modern slavery within our organisation and supply chains. Our approach includes:
- Policies and Procedures: We have established comprehensive policies and procedures that prohibit modern slavery and human trafficking. These policies are communicated to all employees, contractors, and suppliers, emphasising our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery.
- Supplier Due Diligence: We conduct due diligence assessments on our suppliers to ensure they comply with relevant laws and regulations concerning modern slavery. We evaluate their policies, practices, and procedures to mitigate the risk of slavery and exploitation within our supply chains.
- Employee Training: We provide training to our employees to raise awareness of modern slavery and equip them with the knowledge and skills to identify and report any suspicious activities. Training sessions emphasise the importance of ethical conduct and adherence to our anti-slavery policies.
- Reporting Mechanisms: We maintain confidential reporting mechanisms that enable employees, contractors, and stakeholders to report concerns related to modern slavery. We take all reports seriously and investigate them promptly, taking appropriate action where necessary.
- Continuous Improvement: We continuously review and enhance our anti-slavery measures to adapt to evolving risks and challenges. We engage with stakeholders, industry partners, and experts to share best practices and drive collective efforts to combat modern slavery effectively.
