Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
For the financial year ended 31 August 2025
This statement is made under section 54 (1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Tes’ statement on slavery and human trafficking for the financial year ended 31 August 2025. The statement also supports reporting requirements under the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018. It covers the activities of Tes Global Limited and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, and is also made on behalf of Caribou Midco I Limited, the UK parent company of Tes.
During the year, Tes acquired the businesses of Schrole and EHG (Education Horizons Group), all of which now form part of the Tes’ Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement.
At Tes, our vision is to empower schools and enable great teaching worldwide. We create intelligent online products and services that make a meaningful difference in education. Tes delivers innovative digital solutions, globally, to help reduce administrative burden on schools and teachers; covering the recruitment, retention and training of staff, safeguarding compliance, and enhancing the ability to support and manage pupils. All our products and services are built with teachers’ and schools’ needs at the core, ensuring they are innovative, and trusted education solutions. We have over 13 million teachers in our online community and have working relationships with 25,000 schools in over 100 countries. Tes is making a positive difference to millions of teachers, parents, and pupils across the world. We operate in the UK, Australia, EMEA and APAC.
We are committed to ethical operations and ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our supply chains. We only work with organisations that share this commitment and require third-party partners to uphold similar policies and procedures. Given the nature of our goods, being primarily related to running our office, IT infrastructure, and product development, we assess the risk of slavery or trafficking in our supply chain to be very low.
We are committed to treating all employees with dignity and respect, ensuring fair reward for their work and protecting them from exploitation. Our employment policies and procedures are designed to uphold these values and comply fully with all relevant legislation, including minimum wage laws and the Working Time Directive. This includes our Australian employment policies and procedures which are designed to uphold these values and comply fully with Australian legislation, including the Fair Work Act 2009 and Fair Work Regulations 2009, which set minimum wage standards and maximum weekly working hours, as well as provisions for reasonable additional hours.
Tes promotes ethical business practices through a comprehensive framework of policies, including our Code of Business Ethics, Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy, Fraud Policy, Modern Slavery Policy, and Whistleblowing Policy. These policies guide our operations and reinforce our commitment to integrity and accountability.
Throughout the year, we have strengthened awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking among employees and suppliers by implementing and actively promoting our Modern Slavery Policy.
Tes is committed to promoting ethical business practices across all areas of our operation. We uphold this commitment through a comprehensive suite of policies and procedures, including our Code of Business Ethics, AntiDocusign Envelope ID: 1A6CE059-C1B1-490F-B26E-DD42F266AF82 Bribery & Corruption Policy, Fraud Policy, Modern Slavery Policy, and Whistleblowing Policy.
These policies are accessible to all employees via our intranet and are introduced as part of the induction program for every new starter, ensuring early awareness and alignment with our values.
Tes conducts business with honesty and integrity, and we expect all employees to uphold these standards. Tes fosters a culture of openness and actively supports individuals who raise concerns under our Whistleblowing Policy. This includes concerns related to modern slavery, which can be reported through the same process.
Employees are encouraged to speak with their HR Business Partner in the first instance. In addition, Tes provides an independent and confidential whistleblowing hotline to ensure that all concerns can be raised safely and securely.
The services Tes provides are predominantly from our offices or directly at customers’ premises, with the majority of our work being undertaken by Tes employees. As such we have assessed the risk of exposure to modern slavery and/or human trafficking practices as very low. Consequently, we have not identified a need to take any additional action with these relationships.
Most external services supplied to Tes are from suppliers based in the UK and USA, operating in low risk sectors. External services procured are predominantly for the provision of IT services and software, distribution and marketing services.
Tes found no instances of modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains during the 2024-25 reporting period. Any matters that may be identified in our routine business practices will be addressed promptly and appropriately.
Tes remains committed to identifying and mitigating risks related to modern slavery and human trafficking. There were no instances identified in our supply chains in 2024-25.
To strengthen awareness, Tes has implemented and promoted among suppliers and employees, a Modern Slavery Policy.
Tes will continually monitor potential risks of modern slavery and human trafficking risks within its operations and will publish an updated statement on an annual basis, reflecting findings and progress.
