Policies and expectations

We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. Our anti-slavery expectations extend to employees, suppliers, contractors and business partners and prohibit forced labour, exploitative child labour and human trafficking.

We expect suppliers to respect ethical labour practices, fair pay and lawful working conditions, and to provide information demonstrating compliance with relevant anti-slavery requirements. These expectations should extend to relevant subcontractors.

Workers must be free from coercion and able to raise concerns without retaliation. We encourage employees and third parties to report concerns honestly and in good faith.

Due diligence in our supply relationships

Our approach includes assessing supplier risk during onboarding and reviewing it periodically, with closer scrutiny where a higher risk is identified. Relevant checks include reviewing suppliers’ modern-slavery policies and seeking compliance declarations from key suppliers.

Contractual protections address modern-slavery requirements and provide for appropriate action when a supplier fails to meet them. Responses may include corrective action, escalation or ending a relationship, taking account of the effect on affected workers.

Risk assessment and management

Areas of particular attention include external software development and outsourcing, cloud services and IT infrastructure. We consider the nature and location of work, recruitment practices, subcontracting and credible information about labour conditions.

Supplier vetting and ethical sourcing reviews help identify where additional information or safeguards are needed. Where a concern arises, our response should establish the facts and prioritise the safety of people who may be affected.

Monitoring effectiveness

We assess the effectiveness of our approach through supplier compliance information, review of risk profiles, concerns raised and the action taken in response. Internal policy and compliance reviews support this process.

Any published performance figures or incident totals need to relate to a defined reporting period and be supported by records.

Training and awareness

Our programme includes modern-slavery awareness for procurement teams and relevant employees, supplier engagement, and guidance on recognising exploitation and raising concerns. Training and awareness should reflect the risks and responsibilities associated with each role.

Continuous improvement

We are committed to improving supplier risk assessments, strengthening relevant checks, extending awareness and learning from industry practice. Our approach should develop as the business, its services and supply relationships change.

Reporting a concern

Employees, suppliers and other parties can raise a concern through enquiries@blue-titan.co.uk with the subject “Modern slavery concern”. You can ask about an appropriate reporting route before sharing sensitive details.

Reports will be handled sensitively, with information shared only where needed to assess and respond or meet a legal requirement. We do not tolerate retaliation against people who raise concerns honestly. An ordinary email may identify its sender; it should not be treated as an anonymous reporting service.

If someone is in immediate danger in the UK, call 999.

Review and annual reporting

Company management is responsible for reviewing this approach as the business and supply relationships develop.

This page describes our ongoing approach. It does not report outcomes for a specified financial year or record board approval of an annual statement. Where an annual statement is required under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, it must identify the reporting period and entities covered, report the steps taken and include the required approval and director sign-off.
