On 25 March 2025, the UK Home Office published its updated Transparency in Supply Chains (TISC): Statutory Guidance (the Guidance), which provides new and detailed recommendations to help organisations comply with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (MSA). The Guidance includes clearer expectations and practical tips designed to encourage more meaningful disclosure and drive better practices across global supply chains.
While the MSA’s core transparency requirements remain the same, the Guidance places renewed emphasis on detailed reporting, alignment with international frameworks, and continuous improvement. Organisations in scope — and those choosing to report voluntarily — should take note of the key updates.
