inTEC Education Services Limited, trading as inTEC Education, is committed to acting ethically, respecting human rights and preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chain. 

1. Organisation and supply chain 

inTEC Education Services Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 17331743, with its registered office at Colony One, Silk Street, Ancoats, Manchester, M4 6LZ, United Kingdom. We provide technology products, IT support and related services to schools and other education organisations. 

Our supply chain may include technology equipment manufacturers and distributors, software and cloud providers, logistics businesses, recruitment agencies and professional service contractors. Some technology supply chains involve multiple tiers, including production or sourcing outside the UK. 

2. Our commitment 

We do not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, human trafficking, exploitative child labour or coercive labour practices. We expect suppliers and business partners to meet applicable employment and human rights obligations and to provide safe, lawful and fair working conditions. 

3. Identifying risks 

We recognise potential risks in complex supply chains, raw material extraction, electronics manufacturing, temporary and outsourced labour, transport and recruitment. We aim to take a proportionate approach, considering the nature and location of suppliers and any credible information brought to our attention. 

4. Supplier expectations and due diligence 

We expect suppliers to comply with relevant law, identify material labour risks within their operations and take reasonable steps to address them. When appropriate, we may request additional assurances, consider contractual commitments, review reports of concerns or require corrective action. We do not assume that a general supplier declaration proves that every tier of a supply chain is free from exploitation. 

5. Reporting and responding to concerns 

Employees, suppliers and other stakeholders are encouraged to report concerns to management or the Compliance Department at enquiries@inteceducation.com. We will review credible reports sensitively and determine proportionate action, which may include engaging with a supplier, seeking remediation, escalating internally or contacting relevant authorities. In an emergency, call 999. 

6. Awareness and continuous improvement 

We aim to ensure that relevant personnel involved in procurement, recruitment and supplier management are aware of the indicators of exploitation and routes for raising concerns. We will keep our approach under review as our activities and supply chains develop. 

7. Relationship to statutory annual statements 

This is a statement of the company’s commitments and expectations. It is not presented as a report of actions completed during a specified financial year. Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires an annual statement from commercial organisations that meet the statutory criteria, including the £36 million turnover threshold. If that requirement applies to this company, a separate financial-year statement setting out actual steps taken will be prepared, approved by the board and signed by a director before publication. 

8. Contact and review 

Questions or concerns may be sent to enquiries@inteceducation.com, by telephone to 0330 555 5550 or by post to Colony One, Silk Street, Ancoats, Manchester, M4 6LZ, United Kingdom. This statement will be reviewed at least annually and when material circumstances change.
