Data about the modern slavery statement registry

This data is about organisations and statements published in the modern slavery statement registry.

The registry was launched in 2021. The data may range from 2019 to today as some organisations have submitted statements that cover periods before 2021.

The data is updated daily and was last updated at midnight today.

All data is shown by registry year.

What is the registry year?

The many different organisations who submit statements to the modern slavery statement registry have different financial year periods. The registry year allows us to categorise statements together which cover similar time frames.

You can calculate the registry year by adding six months to the date of your financial year-end as the Home Office expects statements to be published within six months of the organisation's financial year-end.

  • If your financial year-end date falls in the first half of the calendar year (1 Jan to 30 Jun), the registry year will be the same as your financial year-end date.
  • If your financial year-end date falls in the second half of the calendar year (1 Jul to 31 Dec), the registry year will be the year after your financial year-end date.

Organisations who are part of a group structure can choose to publish separate statements.

Or, the parent organisation can produce one statement for the whole group.

This means the number of organisations is higher than the number of statements.
