Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
David Tett Photography is committed to conducting its business responsibly and ethically and has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking.
About David Tett Photography
David Tett Photography is a sole-trader business providing professional photography, video and post-production services to clients across the public, private and charitable sectors, including universities, cultural organisations, charities and media organisations.
The business is operated by David Tett and work is primarily undertaken directly for clients and on location. Where additional equipment, products or freelance services are required, these are sourced from established professional suppliers and contractors.
Suppliers and contractors
As a small service-based business, David Tett Photography has a relatively limited supply chain. Nevertheless, I expect suppliers and contractors engaged in connection with my work to operate lawfully and responsibly and to comply with applicable employment, labour and modern slavery legislation.
Where practical and proportionate, I use established and reputable suppliers when purchasing or hiring photographic equipment, technology and professional services.
I will not knowingly work with a supplier or contractor involved in slavery, forced labour, human trafficking or other exploitative employment practices. If I become aware of a credible concern relating to modern slavery within my supply chain, I will investigate the issue and take appropriate action, which may include terminating the business relationship and reporting concerns to the appropriate authority.
Risk and review
Given the nature and scale of the business, the risk of direct exposure to modern slavery is considered relatively low. However, I recognise that risks can exist within wider supply chains, particularly in the manufacture and supply of electronic and photographic equipment and other goods.
I will periodically review my working practices and supplier relationships and consider modern slavery risks when engaging new suppliers or contractors where appropriate.
Commitment
David Tett Photography is not currently required to publish an annual slavery and human trafficking statement under Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. This policy is therefore published voluntarily as part of my commitment to responsible and ethical business practices.
This policy will be reviewed periodically and updated where necessary.
