anti slavery & human trafficking statement

TEACHERS TODAY is committed to improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and strive to act ethically and with integrity in all of our business dealings and relationships to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our schools that we supply to. We shall also ensure our approach and stance is clear with our partner organisations.

Our policies on anti-slavery and human trafficking

TEACHERS TODAY are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. We will treat any breach of our Anti-slavery and Human Trafficking Policy very seriously. For example, any employee who breaches the policy will face disciplinary action which could result in dismissal for misconduct or gross misconduct.

 

TEACHERS TODAY acknowledges the risk that a supply chain may involve the use of a hidden or unknown subcontractor reliant on forced labour. Although TEACHERS TODAY considers the risk of modern slavery to be low due to the nature of its supply chains, it takes its responsibilities to combat modern slavery seriously as demonstrated by its promotion and adoption of the following policy measures:

  • The prevention, detection, and reporting of modern slavery in any part of its business or supply chains is the responsibility of all those working for TEACHERS TODAY under its control.
  • Appropriate due diligence processes must be carried out in relation to modern slavery which may include considering human rights in a sector or country, the type of sector in which a service provider operates, the countries from which services are provided, the nature of relationships with suppliers, and the complexity of supply chain(s).
  • All supply chain lines need to be continually risk assessed and managed in relation to modern slavery and any high-risk suppliers audited.
  • TEACHERS TODAY encourages anyone to raise any concerns about modern slavery and will support anyone who acts in good faith.
  • TEACHERS TODAY will continue to develop its commitment to combat modern slavery and will provide staff training where appropriate.
