Here are the steps Kedron UK Limited has taken and continues to take to understand and minimise the potential risk of modern slavery in its business and supply chains.

This statement is published in line with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

We provide a range of IT products and services to a range of Private and Public Sector organisations. Due the nature of our services, our business operations are predominantly in the Software Development and Technical arena, in addition to professional services including project management, customer support, service delivery and implementation.

Kedron UK Limited is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking.

As an equal opportunities’ employer, we’re committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.

Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion.

We do not enter into business with any organisation, in the UK or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

Our supply chains are limited, and we procure goods and services from a restricted range of UK and overseas suppliers.

We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery of whatever form is, or may be taking place, in any part of our own business or in any part of our supply chain.

The following policies are available to all staff through the Kedron UK Limited intranet:

We will continue to embed the principles through:

• Providing awareness training to staff on the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and informing them of the appropriate action to take if they suspect a case of slavery or human trafficking
• Ensuring staff involved in procurement activity are aware of and follow modern slavery procurement guidance on GOV.UK
• Ensuring that consideration of the modern slavery risks and prevention are added to Kedron UK Limited’s policy review process as an employer and procurer of goods and services
• Making sure Kedron UK Limited procurement strategies and contract terms and conditions include references to modern slavery and human trafficking
• Continuing to take action to embed a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery
• Ensuring that staff involved in buying or procurement and the recruitment and deployment of workers receive training on modern slavery and ethical employment practices.

Breaches of this policy

Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for misconduct or gross misconduct.

We may terminate our relationship with other individuals and organisations working on our behalf if they breach this policy.
