Approach Learning is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, young people, staff, and visitors. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in any form.

What is Modern Slavery?

Modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of human rights. It can take many forms, including:

• Human trafficking 
• Forced or compulsory labour 
• Domestic servitude 
• Child exploitation 
• Criminal exploitation, including county lines activity 
• Debt bondage and other forms of coercion 

Our Responsibilities

We are committed to:

• Maintaining safe recruitment and employment practices. 
• Promoting safeguarding awareness among staff. 
• Ensuring concerns are reported and acted upon promptly. 
• Working with local authorities, safeguarding partners, and external agencies where concerns arise. 
• Encouraging staff, pupils, parents, and visitors to report any concerns about exploitation or abuse. 

Reporting Concerns

If you are worried that a child, young person, or adult may be at risk of exploitation, modern slavery, or human trafficking, please contact our Designated Safeguarding Lead immediately.
