Reporting was the easy part. Now comes the doing.
Your independent specialist on modern slavery risk due diligence and effectiveness.
MAKING GOOD PRACTICE YOUR BUSINESS AS USUAL
Disclosure is no longer enough.
Plenty of advisers tell you what the rules say. I help you take action and assess whether it's working. The regulatory focus is shifting to what you actually did, and whether it is making a meaningful difference.
It is about continuous improvement. Know your suppliers. Catch problems early. Avoid the disruptions, disputes and expensive clean-ups that come from not knowing, not doing.
Get ahead of the regulators. Build compliance you can stand behind.
Build the due diligence underneath
A modern slavery statement alone is not enough. I build the work behind it: risk mitigation roadmaps, human rights due diligence and salience assessments under the UN Guiding Principles and OECD guidance, and responsible sourcing across your supply chain policies and procedures. So what you disclose reflects what you actually did, as a reasonable steps position.
Reasonable steps, made practical.
Build a proportionate approach to modern slavery risk compliance that can withstand scrutiny, from risk identification and supplier due diligence through to mitigation, remediation, evidence and disclosure.
Demonstrate your modern slavery risk controls actually work
Showing your actions are effective is the hardest reporting criterion, and the one regulators are now scrutinising. It's no longer enough to say your risk is low. You have to show your actions created change and demonstrate the reasonable steps you've taken to stand behind it. This is where the Effectiveness Diagnostic can help.
Assess whether your social programs are delivering meaningful impact
Running a social program is one thing. Knowing whether it made a meaningful difference is another. I evaluate whether your social programs and community investment genuinely deliver for the people they're meant to serve. This is the discipline the UN Guiding Principles and OECD guidance put at the heart of responsible business: understanding your operational impact on people and communities, not just your activity. It's also where social disclosure is heading. As social-related disclosure expectations develop, organisations will increasingly need credible evidence of the outcomes and impacts associated with their social programs.
Resolve disputes before they derail your projects
When grievances, workplace conflict or partnership tensions surface, they stall projects and cost money. As a nationally accredited mediator, I handle grievances, workplace investigations and disputes independently. I also work with project teams to build trust and shared accountability early, before complex projects and partnerships come apart. This is Praxis RESOLVE. More on its own page.
