1. Our Commitement
We are committed to running our business responsibly, ethically, and in full compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We do not tolerate forced labour, human trafficking, or exploitation of any kind, and we expect the same standards from everyone we work with.
2. Who this Applies to
This policy applies to everyone who works at or with Linford; employees, freelancers, suppliers, and subcontractors. Whether you’re part of the core team or contributing to a project externally, you’re expected to follow the principles in this policy.
3. What we do Internally
We’re a small team, but we take our responsibilities seriously. We hire fairly, pay above living wage standards, and treat everyone with respect. Our team works in safe conditions, with clear contracts, transparent communication, and no exploitation, ever.
We regularly review our hiring practices, onboarding processes, and working arrangements to make sure they remain fair, inclusive, and legally sound. If we grow to a size where further formal training or auditing is required, we’ll implement it.
4. Our Supply Chain
Most of our suppliers are UK-based digital platforms and creative professionals. While our risk is low, we don’t make assumptions. We work only with partners who align with our values, and we reserve the right to end relationships with any supplier who fails to meet these standards.
Where applicable, we seek assurances (either contractually or through due diligence) that partners comply with the Modern Slavery Act and have their own measures in place to prevent forced labour.
5. Reporting Concerns
If you’re connected to Linford in any way and you suspect or witness unethical or unlawful practices, including any form of modern slavery, we want to hear about it. You can report concerns confidentially by emailing support@linford.io. We’ll take all reports seriously and investigate swiftly and fairly.
6. Review and Responsibility
Responsibility for this policy sits with the leadership team at Linford. We review this policy annually and update it as needed to reflect any changes in the law, our business, or the wider industry.
