Modern Slavery Statement

Effective date: 19 June 2026

1. Introduction

Data Protection Global Ltd is committed to acting ethically, responsibly and with integrity in all areas of our business.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, servitude and exploitation. We expect the same standards from the people and organisations we work with, including contractors, suppliers, service providers, business partners and anyone involved in supporting our services.

This Modern Slavery Statement explains the steps Data Protection Global Ltd takes to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.

This statement is published voluntarily as part of our commitment to responsible business practice and is informed by the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

2. About Data Protection Global Ltd

Data Protection Global Ltd is a UK-based online learning provider offering professional training in data protection, GDPR, UK GDPR, Data Protection Officer skills, privacy compliance, CIPP/E preparation, AI governance, staff awareness and related professional development areas.

Our services may include:

  • online courses;
  • digital learning materials;
  • downloadable resources;
  • learner support;
  • certificates of completion;
  • team training enquiries;
  • professional development content;
  • website and learning platform services.

Our business is primarily digital and education-focused. We do not operate in sectors that are usually considered high risk for labour exploitation, such as manufacturing, agriculture, construction, cleaning, warehousing or large-scale physical logistics. However, we recognise that modern slavery risks can exist in many supply chains, including digital services, outsourced services, freelance work and technology supply chains.

3. Our Business Structure and Supply Chain

As an online learning business, our supply chain may include:

  • website hosting providers;
  • learning platform providers;
  • software and SaaS tools;
  • payment processors;
  • email and communication tools;
  • digital content tools;
  • freelance writers, designers or developers;
  • course contributors or subject specialists;
  • marketing service providers;
  • IT support providers;
  • cloud storage providers;
  • professional advisers;
  • administrative service providers.

Because we are a newly launched business, our supply chain is expected to be relatively small and mainly linked to professional, digital and technology-based services.

We aim to work with reputable suppliers and partners who share our commitment to lawful, fair and ethical working practices.

4. Our Commitment

Data Protection Global Ltd is committed to:

  • opposing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking;
  • conducting business in a fair, honest and responsible way;
  • treating people with dignity and respect;
  • avoiding suppliers or partners where there are clear concerns about exploitation;
  • reviewing modern slavery risks as our business grows;
  • encouraging concerns to be reported and taken seriously;
  • improving our approach over time.

We do not knowingly work with, support or purchase services from any organisation involved in modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking or exploitative labour practices.

5. Our Policies and Procedures

Data Protection Global Ltd aims to support ethical business practice through proportionate policies and procedures.

These may include:

  • supplier selection checks;
  • contractor and freelancer engagement checks;
  • fair payment and contract practices;
  • clear expectations for professional conduct;
  • data protection and privacy policies;
  • website Terms of Service;
  • complaint and reporting routes;
  • review of supplier or contractor concerns;
  • internal approval before working with key suppliers.

As the business grows, we will continue to develop our policies and procedures in a practical and risk-based way.

6. Supplier Due Diligence

We take a proportionate approach to supplier due diligence.

When selecting suppliers, contractors or partners, we may consider:

  • the nature of the service being provided;
  • the country or region where the supplier operates;
  • whether the supplier uses subcontractors;
  • whether the work may involve vulnerable workers;
  • the supplier’s reputation and public information;
  • whether the supplier appears to operate lawfully and ethically;
  • any signs of labour exploitation, forced labour or poor working practices.

For higher-risk suppliers or services, we may request further information about ethical working practices, employment standards, subcontracting, worker treatment or modern slavery controls.

If we identify serious concerns, we may refuse to work with a supplier, suspend the relationship, request corrective action or end the relationship.

7. Risk Assessment

Based on our current business model, we consider the overall risk of modern slavery within our direct business operations to be low.

This is because:

  • our services are mainly digital;
  • we do not currently operate physical production sites;
  • we do not currently rely on large-scale manual labour;
  • our expected suppliers are mainly professional, digital and technology service providers;
  • our courses and resources are delivered online.

However, we recognise that risk may still exist in areas such as:

  • outsourced digital services;
  • freelance or contractor arrangements;
  • offshore service providers;
  • content production support;
  • marketing support;
  • technology supply chains;
  • hardware and equipment supply chains;
  • any future in-person events, physical training, printed materials or merchandise.

We will continue to review these risks as our business, supplier base and service offering develop.

8. Training and Awareness

We recognise that awareness is important in preventing modern slavery.

As Data Protection Global Ltd grows, we aim to ensure that relevant people involved in supplier selection, contractor engagement, business operations and management understand:

  • what modern slavery and human trafficking mean;
  • how modern slavery risks may appear in supply chains;
  • how to identify possible warning signs;
  • how to report concerns;
  • why ethical supplier selection matters.

Training and awareness will be proportionate to the size and risk profile of the business.

9. Reporting Concerns

We encourage anyone connected with Data Protection Global Ltd to report concerns about suspected modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour or unethical labour practices.

Concerns may relate to:

  • our business activities;
  • our suppliers;
  • contractors;
  • freelancers;
  • service providers;
  • business partners;
  • subcontractors;
  • any person or organisation linked to our services.

Concerns can be reported by email:

[email protected]

We will review reported concerns seriously and handle them as confidentially as reasonably possible.

We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.
