Modern Slavery Act Statement

For the Financial Year Ended 30 April 2025

In accordance with the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, this statement outlines the steps taken by Equal Adventure Developments to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and across our supply chains. We are committed to operating responsibly and ethically in all areas of our work, ensuring that our activities, partnerships, and procurement processes uphold the highest standards of transparency and integrity.

Equal Adventure Developments recognises the importance of safeguarding human rights and actively works to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business operations or in the organisations we work with. Our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships are designed to promote ethical working practices and responsible sourcing.

About Equal Adventure

Equal Adventure Developments is an organisation dedicated to promoting inclusion in outdoor activities and active lifestyles. Through training, consultancy, equipment design, and inclusive programmes, we support schools, organisations, communities, and individuals to create accessible outdoor opportunities for people of all abilities.

Our work spans areas such as inclusive outdoor education, accessibility consultancy, adaptive equipment solutions, and professional training. We collaborate with a range of partners including schools, local authorities, disability organisations, outdoor providers, and community groups to develop safe and meaningful outdoor experiences.

Suppliers and Partners

Equal Adventure Developments works with a range of suppliers and partners who provide materials, equipment, and services that support our programmes and product development. We are committed to ensuring that all organisations within our supply chain operate responsibly and maintain high ethical standards.

As part of this commitment, we expect our suppliers and partners to share our values regarding fair labour practices and human rights. We require suppliers to demonstrate a commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within their own organisations and throughout their supply chains.

Policies

To support our commitment to ethical business practices, Equal Adventure Developments maintains a number of internal policies, including:

• Modern Slavery Policy
• Supplier Responsibility and Ethical Procurement Guidelines
• Whistle blowing Policy
• Staff Code of Conduct

These policies are reviewed regularly and communicated to staff, partners, and suppliers to ensure ongoing awareness and compliance.

Due Diligence

Equal Adventure Developments undertakes appropriate due diligence processes to ensure that ethical standards are upheld across our operations and supply chain. This includes maintaining strong working relationships with suppliers, reviewing supplier practices where appropriate, and monitoring procurement processes to ensure responsible sourcing.

Where relevant, we seek to engage directly with suppliers to understand their labour practices and ethical standards. This approach allows us to identify potential risks and ensure that our partners are committed to maintaining fair and lawful working conditions.

Risk Assessment

Equal Adventure Developments regularly reviews its supply chain and operational practices to identify any potential risks related to modern slavery or human trafficking. At present, we consider the risk within our direct operations and primary supplier relationships to be low. However, we remain vigilant and committed to monitoring any potential risks that may arise.

Where concerns are identified, we will take appropriate action, which may include further investigation, supplier engagement, or the termination of supplier relationships if ethical standards are not met.

Staff Awareness and Training

Equal Adventure Developments is committed to ensuring that staff understand the importance of ethical supply chains and the prevention of modern slavery. Staff involved in procurement, partnerships, or supplier engagement are encouraged to remain vigilant and to raise concerns if they believe unethical practices may be present.

Training and internal guidance help staff recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand the steps that should be taken to report or address potential issues.

Employment Practices

Equal Adventure Developments is committed to fair and ethical employment practices. We ensure that all staff and contractors are engaged through transparent recruitment processes and that employment is freely chosen. We expect our partners and suppliers to adopt similar fair recruitment practices and to ensure that individuals are not forced to work against their will.

Ongoing Commitment

Equal Adventure Developments remains committed to continually improving its policies and procedures to prevent modern slavery. We will continue to review and strengthen our due diligence processes, provide appropriate training for staff, and ensure that ethical considerations remain central to our operations and partnerships.

Annual Review

This statement will be reviewed and updated annually by the leadership team of Equal Adventure Developments. It is published on our website to demonstrate our commitment to transparency and responsible business practices.
