Modern Slavery Statement
Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement
Financial Year 2025/2026
This statement sets out the approach taken by Sensory Solution Wholesale Ltd (“the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) to identifying, preventing and addressing the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains.
Where applicable, this statement is made with reference to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
1. Our Commitment
Sensory Solution Wholesale Ltd is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly and with integrity.
We do not tolerate modern slavery, forced or compulsory labour, servitude, child labour, human trafficking or other forms of exploitation within our own operations or, so far as reasonably practicable, within our supply chains.
We recognise that responsible sourcing requires ongoing attention, particularly when working with manufacturers, suppliers, logistics providers and other third parties operating across different countries and jurisdictions.
2. Our Business
Sensory Solution Wholesale Ltd is a UK-based wholesale supplier specialising in sensory toys, fidget products, squishies, novelty toys, sensory equipment and related products.
Based in Kent, England, we supply products to a broad range of trade customers, including retailers and other businesses, as well as organisations operating within the education, healthcare, nursery, care and specialist-support sectors.
Our products may be sourced from UK and international manufacturers, distributors and suppliers.
3. Our Supply Chain
Our supply chain may include:
- manufacturers and product suppliers;
- UK and overseas distributors;
- freight and logistics providers;
- warehousing and fulfilment services;
- packaging suppliers;
- technology and IT providers; and
- professional and other business services.
We recognise that the risk of labour exploitation can vary depending upon the country of manufacture, industry, product category, labour arrangements and complexity of the supply chain.
Particular attention may therefore be given to suppliers, products or territories that we reasonably consider to present an increased risk.
4. Supplier Standards
We expect our suppliers and business partners to operate lawfully, ethically and responsibly.
We expect suppliers, where applicable, to:
- prohibit forced, bonded and compulsory labour;
- prohibit human trafficking and exploitation;
- comply with applicable laws concerning child labour and minimum working ages;
- provide lawful and appropriate working conditions;
- comply with applicable employment and wage legislation;
- respect the rights and welfare of workers; and
- maintain appropriate controls within their own supply chains.
We reserve the right to request information or supporting evidence from suppliers where reasonably necessary to assess compliance or investigate a concern.
5. Supplier Due Diligence
We take a risk-based approach to supplier due diligence.
Depending upon the nature, location and risk profile of a supplier, our checks may include:
- obtaining information about the supplier and its operations;
- requesting confirmation of compliance with applicable labour and employment laws;
- requesting modern slavery or ethical-sourcing declarations;
- reviewing relevant certifications or independent audit information where available;
- discussing labour and sourcing practices directly with suppliers; and
- carrying out further enquiries where concerns are identified.
The extent of due diligence undertaken will depend upon the circumstances and the level of risk reasonably identified.
6. Identifying and Managing Risk
We recognise that it may not always be possible for a wholesaler to have direct visibility over every level of a complex international supply chain.
Our approach is therefore focused on identifying areas presenting greater potential risk and taking reasonable and proportionate measures to address those risks.
Where credible concerns are identified, we may undertake further investigation and request additional information or corrective action from the relevant supplier.
Depending upon the seriousness of the concern and the supplier's response, we may suspend purchases, reconsider the commercial relationship or cease trading with that supplier where appropriate.
7. Reporting Concerns
We encourage employees, suppliers and other parties working with Sensory Solution Wholesale Ltd to raise genuine concerns regarding suspected modern slavery, human trafficking or unethical labour practices.
Concerns will be treated seriously and handled appropriately.
Where circumstances indicate potential criminal activity or an immediate risk to an individual, the matter may be referred to the appropriate authorities.
8. Training and Awareness
We aim to ensure that employees whose roles involve procurement, supplier management, purchasing or other relevant supply-chain activities have appropriate awareness of modern slavery risks.
Where appropriate, guidance or training may include:
- recognising potential indicators of exploitation;
- understanding higher-risk areas within supply chains;
- knowing how to raise concerns internally; and
- understanding the importance of responsible supplier selection.
9. Continuous Improvement
We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process.
During the coming financial year, we intend to continue developing our approach by:
- strengthening supplier onboarding and verification procedures where appropriate;
- improving our understanding of higher-risk areas within our supply chain;
- engaging with suppliers where additional information is required;
- reviewing relevant supplier documentation;
- maintaining awareness amongst appropriate members of staff; and
- reviewing our approach as our business and supply chain develop.
10. Review and Responsibility
This statement will be reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains appropriate to the nature and scale of our business and supply chain.
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery and ethical sourcing rests with the management of Sensory Solution Wholesale Ltd.
