Case studies
"To ensure we are leveraging best practice, we engaged an external human rights expert, Fair Futures to evaluate our organisation on our readiness to meet modern slavery requirements and support our efforts to deepen and sharpen our understanding of where risk lies in our supply chains and operations."
John Stanhope AM (Chancellor), Prof Iain Martin (Vice-Chancellor), Deakin University
Case study on university evaluation"This project reinforced something I strongly believe - lived experience does not strengthen work because of personal stories alone. It strengthens work because it brings reality into systems that are often designed far away from people’s lives. When lived expertise is embedded early, paid fairly, and supported properly, it leads to stronger evidence and more ethical outcomes."

"I engaged Fiona David from Fair Futures to develop a strategic blueprint for a new product we could take to the market, to support businesses to strengthen responsible procurement of textiles, clothing and footwear.
Rachel Reilly, Ethical Clothing Australia
From the outset, Fiona grasped the need to meet both financial and social objectives, developing a fast but rigorous process that integrated a deep understanding of our organisation’s core strengths, the emerging opportunity, and front-line insights into the procurement needs of potential customers from a range of industries and sectors.
The resulting blueprint is clear, operationally feasible and commercially-relevant. It will support businesses to meet emerging Modern Slavery Act requirements and international standards, such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights."
