Our commitment to ending modern slavery in Birmingham

We are committed to working in partnership across the city to comply with our duties under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We work with West Midlands Police and other law enforcement agencies to help disrupt and prosecute modern slavery.

We are a member of West Midlands Anti-Slavery Network, which brings partners together across the region to work on challenges, share best practice, and develop creative solutions to support survivors.

Our Modern Slavery Transparency Statement is in response to Section 54 of the Act which obliges businesses with a turnover of more than £36 million per year to have a transparent supply chain. Our Declaration of Intent outlines how we will tackle this issue.

Along with other cities and the United Nations Development Goal, we signed a pledge to become a Slavery Free Community.

These documents show our commitment to work on this issue and continuously evaluate and develop our responses to support survivors and work with partners.
