• Accountancy and business support services

• Telecommunications

• Public liability insurance

• Professional services

 

Many of our supply chains are UK based with some local to the business, and some based in USA, but with UK offices.

 

Assessment and risk and actions

Assessing the overall risk of modern slavery across the business is an ongoing part of risk assessment and during the previous financial year the risk is low for modern slavery and that our greatest risk of involvement in modern slavery comes indirectly from supply chain. Monitoring this and being aware of potential modern slavery, CCET aims to supply a business where the supply chain used supports mitigating risks of modern slavery.

The main point of potential modern slavery within supply chains will be within

​

• IT software and hardware

 

Part of the actions to assess and address modern slavery CCET are:

​

• running checks of modern slavery policies with those already part of the supply chain and any new ones.

• raising and providing awareness of modern slavery within the organisation

• recognise and be aware of inappropriate practice, such as unusually low prices

• build meaningful relationship with supply chain

• understand and act on the responsibility of CCET to affect change

• continue to develop a risk management approach by identifying  areas where modern slavery could be present.

• Along with the already completed compliance training, CCET will further develop training opportunities for anyone working for CCET
