Modern Slavery Act statement
The University is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in its supply chains or in any part of its activities.
Modern slavery is an international crime affecting millions of people across the globe. It is an unacceptable practice involving people of any age, gender or ethnicity, in developed and developing countries.
Victims in Britain include people trafficked from overseas, or vulnerable people from the UK, who are forced to work illegally or against their will. Evidence suggests that this is more prevalent in some sectors than others, but it can occur anywhere.
The University of Manchester is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in its supply chains or in any part of its activities. As part of this commitment, we have adopted an Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy and issue a Modern Slavery Statement annually in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
