As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly draft a modern slavery statement.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the current GOV.UK guidance on modern slavery statements and save the relevant pages alongside your previous statement, if you have one.
   2. Gather your business structure, supply-chain map, supplier screening records, relevant policies, risk assessments, audits, training records, complaints, incidents, remediation work and planned actions for the reporting period.
   3. Paste the business facts and attach the supporting documents to a chatbot, then use the prompt to produce a draft and an information-needed list.
   4. Compare every factual sentence in the draft with the source documents and replace unsupported wording with a specific correction or [INFORMATION NEEDED].
   5. Ask a UK solicitor to check whether the business needs to publish the statement, whether the structure and content meet current requirements, and whether the wording overstates any control or result.
   6. Send the corrected version through the business's approval process, record the approval, and publish it only after confirming the current GOV.UK publication and sign-off requirements.

   Prompt

   Draft a modern slavery statement for a UK business using the information and documents below. Treat this as a drafting task, not legal advice.
   
   Business name: [BUSINESS NAME]
   Business activities and group structure: [DETAILS]
   Relevant reporting period: [PERIOD]
   Whether the business is required to publish a statement: [KNOWN POSITION OR UNKNOWN]
   Supply chains, sourcing countries and higher-risk areas: [DETAILS]
   Policies on modern slavery, human trafficking, ethical sourcing and whistleblowing: [DETAILS]
   Due diligence and supplier onboarding: [DETAILS]
   Supplier audits, assessments or contractual controls: [DETAILS]
   Risk assessment findings: [DETAILS]
   Training and awareness: [DETAILS]
   Key performance measures: [DETAILS]
   Incidents, complaints, investigations or remediation: [DETAILS]
   Effectiveness review and next steps: [DETAILS]
   Approval process and approving body: [DETAILS]
   Previous statement or public disclosures: [PASTE OR ATTACH]
   Supporting documents: [PASTE OR ATTACH]
   
   Use only facts supplied in these materials. Do not invent policies, figures, suppliers, audits, training, incidents, results or approval dates. Mark every missing fact as [INFORMATION NEEDED] and list the missing evidence after the draft. First identify which legal and guidance assumptions need checking against the current GOV.UK guidance on modern slavery statements at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/modern-slavery. Then produce a clear UK English draft with headings covering the business structure, supply chains, risks, policies, due diligence, assessment of effectiveness, training and future actions. Distinguish confirmed facts from proposed wording. Do not claim that the statement is compliant or that publication is legally required unless the supplied evidence and current official guidance support that conclusion. Include a short sign-off checklist for the business and a separate list of points a UK solicitor should review. This is not professional advice.
