We fully support the principles set out in the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and are committed to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains.
This policy outlines the steps we take to ensure that modern slavery does not occur within our organisation or within any organisation that works with us.
About This Policy
This Modern Slavery Statement applies to Personal Injury Solicitors Manchester, a website providing personal injury legal services and operating in association with JF Law Personal Injury Solicitors, a law firm authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
This statement relates to the current financial year and is reviewed regularly to ensure that it remains accurate, effective and compliant with UK legislation.
What Is Modern Slavery?
Modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It can take various forms including:
- Human trafficking
- Forced or compulsory labour
- Debt bondage
- Servitude
- The exploitation of workers through coercion, abuse or deception
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations.

- Our organisation
- Our recruitment processes
- Our supply chains

We operate in accordance with UK employment law and ethical business standards, ensuring that all staff are treated fairly and with respect.

Our primary activity is providing information and support in relation to personal injury claims and legal services across Manchester and the wider North West region.
Our operations include:
- Online services and client enquiries
- Administrative and marketing functions
- Collaboration with authorised legal professionals and service providers

- Carrying out reasonable checks when selecting suppliers and partners

Any concerns raised will be taken seriously and investigated appropriately.
