FindaTradie – Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction
FindaTradie is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships. We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking and are committed to preventing these practices within our business and supply chains.

This statement is made in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and outlines the steps we take to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place within our operations or associated services.

Our Business
FindaTradie operates as an online platform connecting homeowners with independent tradespeople across the UK. We do not directly employ tradespeople listed on the platform, and they operate as independent businesses.

Our Commitment
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking within our business or in any part of our operations. We expect the same high standards from all businesses we work with or list on our platform.

Risk Assessment
As a digital platform, our direct exposure to modern slavery risk within our core operations is considered low. However, we recognise that risks may exist within the wider construction and trades sectors.

To mitigate this, we aim to:

Promote ethical business practices

Encourage transparency from businesses listed on our platform

Take reasonable steps to identify and address potential concerns

Due Diligence
While we do not directly control or employ the tradespeople listed, we take steps to ensure that businesses using the platform meet our standards, including verification processes where applicable.

We expect all listed businesses to:

Operate lawfully and ethically

Comply with all applicable laws and regulations

Treat workers fairly and with respect

Reporting Concerns
We encourage users, tradespeople, and partners to report any concerns relating to modern slavery, unethical practices, or exploitation.

Any reports will be taken seriously and reviewed appropriately.

Training and Awareness
As part of our ongoing commitment, we aim to increase awareness of modern slavery risks within our business and encourage responsible practices across our platform.

Continuous Improvement
FindaTradie is committed to continuously reviewing and improving our processes to ensure we uphold our responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act.

We will continue to assess risks and take appropriate action where necessary.
