BeLingual is committed to acting ethically, responsibly and with integrity in all areas of its work.

BeLingual is committed to acting ethically, responsibly and with integrity in all areas of its work.

1. Purpose of this policy

BeLingual is committed to acting ethically, responsibly and with integrity in all areas of its work.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy explains our commitment to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, bonded labour, child exploitation, domestic servitude and any form of labour abuse within our organisation, partnerships and supply chain.

2. Our Supply Chains

Our principal supply chains and business relationships include:

  • Freelance and employed teaching and educational staff;
  • Technology and software service providers (e.g. website hosting, video conferencing, CRM, payment processing);
  • Marketing and advertising service providers;
  • Professional advisers (legal, accounting, and HR).

We primarily engage with established, reputable providers. The majority of our suppliers are based in the United Kingdom or similarly regulated jurisdictions with robust labour protections.

3. Our Policies

BeLingual is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking are not present in our business or supply chains. Our relevant internal commitments include:

  • Ethical recruitment practices — all staff and contractors are recruited through transparent processes with clearly stated terms and fair remuneration;
  • Verification of right to work — we verify that all individuals working with us have the legal right to do so in the UK or their respective jurisdiction;
  • Supplier due diligence — we exercise judgement when selecting suppliers and service providers, taking into account their ethical and legal compliance record;
  • Open-door reporting — we encourage staff and partners to raise any concerns about potential modern slavery without fear of retaliation.

4. Due Diligence

We take the following steps to identify and address risks of modern slavery:

  • Reviewing the employment and contractor terms we offer to ensure they are fair, transparent, and above the National Living Wage where applicable;
  • Assessing suppliers against known risk factors, including sector, geography, and nature of work;
  • Maintaining open communication channels with all staff and contractors to surface concerns early;
  • Engaging only with payment processors and platforms that comply with applicable financial regulations.

5. Risk Assessment

We consider the risk of modern slavery in our direct operations to be low, given:

  • The professional and regulated nature of our educational services;
  • The relatively small size of our team and supplier base;
  • Our operations being primarily based in the UK and other high-income countries with strong labour protections.

We nonetheless remain vigilant and will update our assessment as our business grows and our supply chains expand.

6. Key Performance Indicators

As part of our commitment, we monitor the following:

  • All workers engaged by BeLingual have signed clear contracts with transparent terms;
  • No substantiated reports of modern slavery or forced labour have been received;
  • Training on recognising signs of modern slavery is made available to relevant staff.

7. Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our team. We will ensure that staff involved in procurement and HR understand how to identify and report concerns related to modern slavery and human trafficking.

8. Continuous Improvement

We recognise that combating modern slavery is an ongoing commitment. As BeLingual grows, we will:

  • Formalise our supplier due diligence processes;
  • Introduce training on modern slavery for all staff;
  • Review and update this statement annually.

9. Approval and Review

This statement has been approved by the senior leadership of BeLingual Ltd and will be reviewed annually. It covers the financial year ending 2025.
