This article analyses the application of the = Transparency in Supply Chains provision (TiSCs) of the United Kingdom Moder= n Slavery Act (2015) to the public sector. Since 2016 commercial organizati= ons are obliged to report on efforts to identify, prevent, and mitigate mod= ern slavery in their supply chain. This includes over one hundred higher ed= ucation institutions (HEIs). This article finds that while most reporting i= n the first year fall short of what is expected of institutions according t= o Government guidance, the exercise of reporting has initiated an important= process of awareness. HEIs face a steep learning curve to develop effectiv= e human rights due diligence in their supply chain however, the TiSCs oblig= ation has proved a catalyst for a wider process of understanding human righ= ts risks and responsibilities of the public sector, and more specifically H= EIs. |
