2. Structure and Governance

CKT operates within the UK, serving clients across various industries. Our core services include recruitment, brand strategy, and direct marketing. The responsibility for overseeing modern slavery prevention lies with our senior leadership team, who ensure that our operations and supply chains remain compliant with all relevant legislation.

CKT takes a proactive approach to assessing and mitigating risks related to modern slavery. As part of our due diligence process, we evaluate our supply chains, particularly focusing on those areas where the risk of exploitation may be higher. This includes background checks and ethical audits of key suppliers to ensure compliance with modern slavery laws.

Steps taken to manage risk include:
