UK Modern Slavery Statement Registry API

What does UK Modern Slavery Statement Registry API do?

This Actor returns UK modern slavery statements straight from the Home Office's official modern slavery statement registry, as clean per-organisation JSON: sector type, turnover band, which of the Modern Slavery Act 2015's six recommended statement elements (organisational structure, policies, risk assessment, due diligence, training, goals) each statement covers, and a link to the published PDF. Every large UK organisation (turnover over £36 million) that chooses to submit is on the register, so this is a modern slavery statement registry export, not a sample. ESG and compliance teams, procurement due-diligence teams and investors use it to screen a company, sector or supply chain for modern slavery compliance data without touching the government's CSV download by hand. An optional alert mode re-checks the current statement year and returns only statements added or updated since your last run, which matters because organisations keep submitting through the year.

What you get

• Organisation identity: name, parent group name (for group submissions), address, Companies House number, sector type (Private/Public), industry sector(s), turnover band.
• Compliance coverage: whether the statement covers each of the six recommended elements, plus a 0-6 count, and how many years the organisation has been producing statements.
• Filing details: the statement's reporting period, when it was approved and last updated, a link to the organisation's own published statement, and a direct PDF link.
• Filter by organisation name, sector type or statement year (2020 to the current year in progress).
• Optional only statements missing a recommended element screen for due-diligence checks.
• Optional only new or updated since last run mode for a scheduled alert on the current year.

How much does it cost?

You pay per statement returned, with no monthly fee: $2.00 per 1,000 statements on Apify's free plan, and 10-40% less on paid Apify plans. Each run also costs $0.001 to start. Apify's free plan includes $5 of credit every month, enough for about 2,500 statements. Prices as of October 2026; the price shown on this page is the one that applies.

Use	Statements	Cost on the free plan
Look up one organisation by name	1-5	about $0.01
Screen the Public sector for incomplete statements, current year	about 100-200	about $0.20-0.40
Daily alert through the year as organisations submit, about 15 new/updated a day	about 450 a month	about $0.90 a month

Set Maximum cost per run to cap any run; the Actor stops cleanly at the cap and keeps everything it saved.

Ready-made inputs

Four real use cases as JSON inputs, each tested in the local run above.

{ "statementYear": 2026 }

{ "statementYear": 2026, "organisationName": "tesco" }

{ "statementYear": 2026, "sectorType": "Public" }

{ "statementYear": 2026, "onlyIncompleteStatements": true }

Alerts

Set onlyNewSinceLastRun to true and run this Actor on a schedule (daily or weekly works well) to get only statements submitted or resubmitted since the last run, scoped to the statementYear you give it. The watermark is kept per statement year, so you can monitor the current year without missing or duplicating anything if a run is ever cut short by your spending cap.

Or open these as ready-made examples:

• UK modern slavery statements filed this year
• Tesco's modern slavery statements
• Public sector modern slavery statements
• Modern slavery statements missing recommended elements

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
statementYear	integer	required (prefill 2026)	The statement year to fetch. 2020 is the earliest year published.
organisationName	string	""	Keep only organisations whose name or parent group name contains this text. Case-insensitive.
sectorType	string	""	Keep only Private or Public sector organisations. Leave empty for both.
onlyIncompleteStatements	boolean	false	Keep only statements that do not cover all six recommended elements.
onlyNewSinceLastRun	boolean	false	Keep only statements added or updated since this Actor's last run for the same statementYear.
maxItems	integer	1000	Stop after this many statements.

Output

One dataset item per organisation statement. A real item from the local test run above:

{
  "organisationName": "TESCO DISTRIBUTION LIMITED",
  "parentName": "TESCO PLC",
  "groupSubmission": true,
  "address": "Tesco House, Shire Park, Kestrel Way, Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom, AL7 1GA",
  "companyNumber": "02972724",
  "sectorType": "Private",

  "statementUrl": "https://www.tescoplc.com/media/ahag4vn0/modern-slavery-statement-2024_25_v15.pdf",
  "statementSummaryUrl": "https://modern-slavery-statement-registry.service.gov.uk/statement-summary/4C73ZLVe/2026",
  "pdfUrl": "https://downloads.modern-slavery-statement-registry.service.gov.uk/pdf-published/4C73ZLVe/2026/Modern Slavery Statement 2025_26_V22.pdf",
  "pdfDate": "2026-06-15T09:11:26"
}

Notes: companyNumber and address are null when the organisation didn't provide one (common for group-submission entries, which carry the group's own CompanyNumber under parentName instead). organisationSectors is an array because an organisation can carry more than one industry sector. elementsCoveredCount is a quick 0-6 summary of the six boolean element fields, for sorting or filtering without reading all six. Dates are the values recorded by the registry (UK local time; the source does not state a timezone offset for statementStartDate, statementEndDate, dateApproved or lastUpdated; pdfDate includes a time). We deliberately drop the source's ApprovingPerson and EmailAddressNoURL columns: one names the individual board signatory, the other is a literal email address, and this tool only returns organisation-level data, never data about named individuals.

Use it from AI agents

Add the Actor to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tabulary/uk-modern-slavery-statements). Ask in plain language, for example: "Does Tesco's 2026 modern slavery statement cover all six recommended elements?" The agent fills in the input and gets structured statements back.

Use it from code

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tabulary~uk-modern-slavery-statements/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"statementYear": 2026, "sectorType": "Public"}'

The same works with the Apify Python and JavaScript clients. See the API tab for details.

Data source and limits

• Source: the UK Home Office's modern slavery statement registry. Its download page states "All content is available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, except where otherwise stated." The Open Government Licence v3.0 permits commercial reuse with attribution: "Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0."
• Submission to the registry is a legal requirement for commercial organisations with turnover over £36 million under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, but the registry itself only contains organisations that have chosen to submit through it; it is not a complete list of every qualifying organisation.
• The source publishes one CSV per statement year covering every submission in that year; there is no per-organisation API, so this Actor downloads the year's file and filters it for you.
• The current statement year's file grows through the year as organisations submit new or updated statements — use onlyNewSinceLastRun to track that.
• Only organisation-level fields are returned. The source's ApprovingPerson (a named board signatory) and EmailAddressNoURL (a literal email address) columns are always dropped.
• Not affiliated with or endorsed by the UK Home Office or the Government Equalities Office.

FAQ

Is this data official? Yes. It comes directly from the Home Office's statutory modern slavery statement registry, the same register organisations submit to.

How fresh is it? As fresh as the source: organisations submit throughout the year, and the source updates as submissions land. Run with onlyNewSinceLastRun on a schedule to catch new and updated statements as they appear.

Does this cover every organisation that must report? No. The registry only contains organisations that chose to submit through it; the Act requires submission but the government does not maintain (and this tool cannot provide) a complete list of non-compliant organisations.
