a. Organisation Structure, Business and Supply Chains

Stand2 is a UK-based training provider delivering conflict management, personal safety, and physical intervention training to organisations across the UK. We operate solely within the UK and maintain a small, specialised team supported by a network of trusted affiliate trainers. Our supply chain is limited and primarily consists of employed and freelance training professionals and occasional venue providers.

b. Policies in Relation to Slavery and Human Trafficking

Although Stand2 is not legally required to publish a Modern Slavery Statement under Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we are committed to ethical business practices and a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking.

c. Due Diligence Processes

We conduct due diligence when engaging contractors and suppliers to ensure they are trustworthy and aligned with our values. This includes criminal record checks, document verification, and face-to-face meetings where appropriate. As our business grows, we are committed to strengthening these processes to ensure ethical practices throughout our supply chain.

d. Risk Assessment and Management

Given the nature of our business and the limited scope of our supply chain, the risk of modern slavery is considered low. Nonetheless, we remain vigilant and will continue to monitor for any signs of unethical practices. Any suspected activity would be thoroughly investigated and reported to the appropriate authorities. Stand2 takes a proactive stance on cooperation with authorities and sharing relevant information and evidence.

e. Effectiveness and Performance Indicators

We monitor the effectiveness of our approach through regular internal reviews and board-level discussions. We have formal reporting mechanisms in place that allow staff to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation.

f. Training and Capacity Building

While we do not currently provide formal training on modern slavery, we are committed to introducing basic awareness training for staff and contractors if required for contract award or as part of our ongoing development.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

Stand2 is committed to maintaining high ethical standards and will continue to review and improve our practices to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chain.
