Modern Slavery Statement

Strengthscope is committed to operating with integrity and respect for human rights. We recognize the importance of addressing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. This statement outlines our approach to preventing modern slavery and ensuring that our operations and supply chains are free from such practices.

As an equal opportunities employer, we’re committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.
Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion.

We do not enter into business with any organisation, in the UK or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

Our Business and Supply Chains
Strengthscope is a global provider of strength-based assessment tools and development programmes. Due to the nature of the business, we assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains. Our supply chains are limited and we procure goods and services from a small range of UK and overseas suppliers.

Our Commitment
We are dedicated to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chains. Our commitment is reflected in our policies and practices, which are designed to uphold the highest ethical standards and respect for human rights. The following policies are available to all employees through the Strengthscope intranet:
• Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy
• Disciplinary Procedure
• Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Policy
• Whistleblowing Policy

4. Reporting Mechanisms: We have established clear reporting mechanisms for employees and stakeholders to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or human trafficking. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly.
