Modern Slavery Act Transparency Statement
1. Introduction and Policy Statement
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that LumenForge has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.
LumenForge has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.
2. Our Business and Supply Chains
Business Operations:LumenForge provides AI-powered Socratic tutoring software designed for UK GCSE students, designed toward DfE 2026 guidance. Our direct operations primarily involve software development, educational research, and platform administration. LumenForge is run by me, in the UK.
Supply Chain Risk Assessment:Given the nature of our business as a digital SaaS provider, we consider our inherent risk of modern slavery to be low. However, our supply chain includes cloud hosting providers (e.g., AWS, Vercel), third-party API providers (e.g., LLM inference engines), and professional services.
3. Due Diligence and Supplier Adherence
Vendor Procurement:We expect our suppliers and contractors to demonstrate a zero-tolerance approach to exploitation. When onboarding new vendors, particularly enterprise infrastructure providers, we prioritize those with established, transparent Modern Slavery and Human Rights policies.
4. Training and Awareness
Internal Policies:LumenForge is run by me as a sole trader. If I take on staff or contractors, they'll be briefed on these requirements and encouraged to raise any concerns.
