Modern Slavery Statement
Introduction
Class Technology Solutions Ltd (“CTS”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business operations and supply chains.
We uphold ethical business practices and take proactive measures to ensure that slavery, forced labour and human trafficking have no place within our organisation or among those we work with.
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and outlines the steps we take to assess and mitigate the risks of modern slavery within our business and supply chains.
Our business
Class Technology Solutions Ltd provides ICT Managed Services to schools and other organisations across the UK.
Our operations include IT support services, procurement of hardware and software, and collaboration with suppliers, distributors and contractors.
We recognise that the ICT sector can present risks relating to modern slavery, particularly within global supply chains linked to hardware manufacturing and procurement.
We are committed to working with ethical suppliers and ensuring our business practices align with our values.
Our policies
CTS maintains policies and procedures that support ethical business conduct and responsible supply chain management.
- Supplier Code of Conduct – requiring suppliers to adhere to fair labour practices, ethical working conditions and compliance with the Modern Slavery Act
- Procurement Policy – ensuring due diligence is undertaken when selecting suppliers and partners
- Whistleblowing Policy – encouraging employees and third parties to report concerns regarding unethical practices or human rights abuses
- Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy – supporting integrity and ethical conduct in all business dealings
Risk assessment and due diligence
To reduce the risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chain, CTS undertakes a range of due diligence activities.
- Supplier risk assessments, particularly for suppliers operating in higher-risk regions or industries
- Contractual commitments requiring suppliers to confirm compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and fair labour standards
- Periodic supplier monitoring and compliance checks where appropriate
- Employee awareness and training relating to modern slavery risks
Training and awareness
CTS provides training and guidance for relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement and supplier management.
This supports awareness of modern slavery risks and promotes responsible sourcing and ethical decision-making.
Reporting and compliance
Employees, suppliers and third parties are encouraged to report concerns relating to modern slavery through our confidential reporting channels.
All concerns are taken seriously and investigated appropriately.
Where a supplier is found to be in breach of our modern slavery commitments, CTS may terminate the relationship and take appropriate corrective action.

- Supplier compliance checks and contractual adherence
