Modern slavery and human trafficking statement

In accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, every year we publish a modern slavery and human trafficking statement, which outlines our activities to align with the act and prevent slavery and trafficking within the organisation.

By reporting through this statement UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) demonstrates its commitment to ethical practices, transparency, accountability, and encouraging a broader culture of responsibility.
