PalTutors is committed to ensuring that modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and similar human rights violations, does not occur within our organisation or our supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains, in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Our Organisation
PalTutors is an educational services provider based in Milton Keynes, UK. We offer tutoring services to students of all ages, helping them achieve their academic goals. Our commitment to ethical practices extends to all aspects of our operations, including the treatment of our employees and the ethical standards of our suppliers.
Our Policies
We have implemented the following policies to combat modern slavery and human trafficking:
Anti-Slavery Policy: We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. Our Anti-Slavery Policy outlines our commitment to ethical practices and the steps we take to prevent such violations.
Supplier Code of Conduct: Our suppliers are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes strict provisions against the use of forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We expect our suppliers to maintain high ethical standards and comply with all relevant laws and regulations.
Whistleblowing Policy: We encourage all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Our Whistleblowing Policy ensures that all reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly.
Due Dilligence
To ensure that our suppliers and partners adhere to our ethical standards, we have implemented a robust due diligence process, which includes:
- Conducting risk assessments to identify potential areas of concern within our supply chains.
- Requiring suppliers to complete a Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Questionnaire, confirming their compliance with our standards.
- Regularly reviewing and auditing our supply chains to ensure ongoing compliance with our policies.

We provide training to all employees, particularly those involved in procurement and supply chain management, to raise awareness of the signs of modern slavery and the steps they can take to prevent it.
