We recognise our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity, ensuring that our procurement and employment practices uphold the highest standards of transparency and fairness.

We take the following steps to meet this commitment:

• Conduct due diligence on suppliers and contractors to ensure compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
• Include clear contractual obligations requiring suppliers to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.
• Provide guidance and training to staff involved in procurement and recruitment.
• Maintain robust reporting procedures for any concerns related to modern slavery.

Heritage MAT will continue to review and strengthen these measures to ensure that our schools and partners operate in a way that respects human rights and promotes dignity for all.
