Modern Slavery Statement – New Forest Wills

Last Updated: 10/02/2025

1. Introduction

New Forest Wills is committed to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in all areas of our business and supply chain. Although we are a small paralegal business operating within the UK and not legally required to publish a modern slavery statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we uphold ethical business practices and take a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery.

2. Our Business & Supply Chain

We provide will writing, probate assistance, power of attorney, and trust services in the UK. Our business operations do not involve high-risk sectors, and we do not manufacture goods or employ workers in vulnerable conditions. However, we remain vigilant in ensuring all third-party service providers meet ethical labour standards.

3. Due Diligence & Ethical Practices

• We only engage reputable UK-based third-party firms for will drafting and validation, ensuring compliance with UK employment and labour laws.
• We do not tolerate forced or exploitative labour within our business or among our suppliers.
• If we become aware of any concerns related to modern slavery, we will take immediate action, including reviewing supplier relationships.

4. Employee & Supplier Expectations

• We ensure that any employees, contractors, or suppliers operate under fair and lawful working conditions.
• Our suppliers are expected to comply with UK labour laws and ethical business standards.
• Any concerns related to modern slavery within our supply chain can be reported confidentially via newforestwills@gmail.com.

5. Commitment to Ongoing Awareness

We review our practices regularly to maintain high ethical standards and ensure compliance with UK employment laws. While we are not required to produce an annual modern slavery statement, we remain committed to ethical business conduct.
