Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Doddle Design Ltd
www.doddledesign.co.uk
At Doddle Design Ltd, we are fully committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chains. We recognise our responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct in all our operations.
Our Business
Doddle Design Ltd provides digital services to clients across the UK. We operate from the UK with a small team and a limited supply chain, primarily comprising UK-based contractors and technology service providers.
Our Policy
We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically, transparently, and with integrity in all our business dealings.
Our Commitments Include:
Carrying out reasonable due diligence on suppliers, partners, and contractors to ensure alignment with our anti-slavery principles.
Ensuring all employees and contractors engaged by Doddle Design Ltd are subject to UK employment laws, including rights to fair pay and working conditions.
Communicating our anti-slavery stance to suppliers, contractors, and business partners to promote awareness and compliance.
Providing a clear process for reporting concerns relating to slavery or human trafficking, with full protection for whistleblowers.
Regularly reviewing and updating our policies to ensure continued compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Supply Chain Transparency
While our direct supply chain is limited, primarily involving software services, hardware procurement, and professional services, we remain vigilant. We expect all third parties we work with to maintain their own robust anti-slavery policies and procedures.
Training and Awareness
Given the nature and size of our business, formal training is proportionate to risk. However, our team is made aware of the signs of modern slavery and the importance of raising concerns promptly.
Responsibility and Review
Responsibility for ensuring compliance with this statement rests with the company’s Directors. This statement is reviewed annually and updated as needed.
Reporting Concerns
If any individual has concerns regarding slavery or human trafficking linked to Doddle Design Ltd’s business or supply chain, they should report it immediately via info@doddledesign.co.uk. All reports are taken seriously and handled in confidence.
