At The Little Website Company, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. We stand firmly against all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. This statement outlines the steps we are taking to ensure modern slavery does not occur in our business operations or supply chains.
The Little Website Company is a digital services provider specialising in web development, design, and online solutions for clients across the UK and internationally. While our direct operations are based in the tech sector — with a focus on creativity, innovation, and digital infrastructure — we recognise the broader risks that may exist in our supply chain, particularly in areas such as IT hardware, outsourced services, and software development partnerships.
We are committed to maintaining a transparent and ethical approach across our operations. Our values promote a working environment where dignity and respect are upheld, and where exploitation of any kind is not tolerated. We expect the same standards from all third parties we work with, including suppliers, freelancers, partners, and contractors.
To prevent modern slavery and human trafficking, The Little Website Company has implemented the following measures:
While our core business activities are low-risk in terms of direct exposure to modern slavery, we assess risk in:
IT hardware procurement: We monitor vendors and manufacturers for ethical sourcing and labour practices. Third-party developers or outsourced tech support: We evaluate contractual partners to ensure they comply with labour regulations in their jurisdiction. We conduct risk-based assessments and engage only with suppliers who can demonstrate a commitment to ethical labour practices.We ensure that key members of our team — especially those involved in procurement, partnerships, and HR — receive training and guidance on identifying modern slavery risks. Awareness initiatives are in place to ensure that our entire team is informed and vigilant.
We are committed to improving our systems and practices year-on-year. This includes:
Employees, suppliers, or third parties are encouraged to raise concerns about potential unethical behaviour or human rights violations via our confidential reporting process. All concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly.
