Modern Slavery Policy

1. Introduction

Kearney FM is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and uphold the principles of human dignity, fairness, and ethical treatment in everything we do.

This policy outlines our stance and the steps we take to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within our operations or those of our partners.

2. Our Business

Kearney FM is a UK-based media business providing radio broadcasting, online content, digital services, and community engagement. While our business is relatively small, we are committed to ensuring transparency and accountability throughout our organisation and with any third parties we work with.

3. Our Commitment

We do not tolerate any form of:

• Forced or compulsory labour
• Child labour
• Human trafficking
• Bonded labour
• Exploitation or abuse in the workplace

Kearney FM upholds the rights and welfare of all individuals involved in our business, whether directly or indirectly.

4. Supply Chains and Third Parties

Though our supply chain is limited in size, we expect all partners, suppliers, freelancers, and contractors to share our values and comply with all applicable laws related to labour rights and modern slavery.

We reserve the right to terminate relationships with any third party found to be in breach of these principles.

5. Employee Awareness and Responsibility

• All team members, including volunteers and contractors, are made aware of this policy and are expected to report any suspicions of modern slavery.
• Reports can be made confidentially to compliance@kearneyfmradio.co.uk or the forms below.
• We ensure that everyone working with us does so voluntarily and is paid fairly and legally in line with UK employment standards.

6. Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

We actively:

• Vet new suppliers or partners where relevant
• Limit exposure to high-risk sectors or regions
• Maintain clear communication around ethical standards

Although Kearney FM is not legally required to publish an annual modern slavery statement under the Act (due to our business size), we voluntarily uphold these standards as part of our ethical commitment.

7. Training

As our team grows, we will implement appropriate training to help staff identify and address risks of modern slavery in their work and the wider industry.

8. Reporting Concerns

If anyone connected to Kearney FM suspects modern slavery or unethical practices in any part of our operations or supply chain, we urge them to report it immediately.

📧 compliance@kearneyfmradio.co.uk

All concerns will be taken seriously and investigated confidentially.

9. Policy Review

This policy is reviewed annually and updated as necessary to reflect changes in the law, best practice, or our business operations.
