This statement is made pursuant to s.54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that TVT Group Limited and its subsidiary operating companies, collectively known as ‘TVT’ have taken and will continue to take to address the risk of modern slavery or human trafficking taking place within our business or supply chain. Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. It covers all activities undertaken by the Group. This document will be reviewed for continued suitability, will be communicated within TVT and, if appropriate, made available to interested parties.  The review interval for this document is 2 years.  

Our business 

TVT is a privately owned IT consultancy business based at a single site in the UK focusing on the implementation and support of Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Business Central. We are committed to best corporate practices and ethical values and has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. TVT is committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain. 

Potential risk areas 

The parts of our operations where we consider there is a potential risk of modern slavery are our supply chain, employees and agency workers. 

Suppliers 

TVT buys software from Microsoft and other 3rd parties predominantly from UK suppliers. However, these supplies, or elements of them, may originate from overseas locations that have been identified by the Group as carrying a higher potential risk of modern slavery. 

Employees 

TVT employs over 35 employees and the business checks on hiring that all of our employees have a right to work in the UK. All our employees are paid more than the minimum statutory pay provisions. 

Agency workers 

The Group rarely utilises agency workers (less than 5 times in 20 years). There is a potential risk that the source of an agency workers could be involved in modern slavery and human trafficking or that they are paid less than the minimum statutory pay provisions. 

As the Group only operates in the UK, we view our overall risk to be very low. 

Policies and procedures 

In order to mitigate the risk of modern slavery within the risk areas identified TVT operates a number of policies and practices covering suppliers and recruitment. 

In addition to these policies and practices, during the year to 30 April 2018 TVT has undertaken the following activities: 

  • Members of the Management Team have been briefed on the Modern Slavery Act 2015. 

Following the briefing performed in 2017 TVT intends to: 

  • Make existing suppliers aware of TVT’s Modern Slavery Statement and the requirement that they comply with this.
