Modern Slavery Statement

  1. Our Business

Connected Stories provides educational training and development, youth justice consultancy, leadership coaching, and digital resources. We operate primarily in the UK, with some international partnerships.

  1. Our Commitment

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chains. Our approach is guided by respect for human rights and ethical business conduct.

  1. Supply Chains

Our supply chains are relatively simple and consist of:

  • Freelance consultants and associates
  • Digital service providers (e.g., hosting, platforms, payment processors)
  • Office and resource suppliers

We assess potential suppliers for ethical practices and expect all those in our supply chain to comply with relevant labour laws and anti-slavery standards.

  1. Policies and Practices

We have internal policies to support our commitment, including:

  • Ethical conduct policy
  • Recruitment processes that ensure fair employment
  • Clear whistleblowing procedures for raising concerns

All staff, contractors, and associates are expected to comply with our values and report any concerns related to modern slavery.

  1. Training and Awareness

Given our size, we focus on raising awareness through regular staff discussions and onboarding briefings to help identify potential risks and uphold our ethical standards.

  1. Review and Responsibility

This statement is reviewed annually. Responsibility for our anti-slavery efforts lies with the senior leadership team.
