Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: TV production and post-production globally: Workers including freelance crew and subcontractors providing ancillary services such as catering, security, driving and cleaning.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers
- Group: Women Migrants Other vulnerable groups
- Location: Australia Belgium Germany Denmark Spain Finland France United Kingdom Italy Netherlands Norway Sweden United States South Africa
- Mitigation: Upgrading risk tracking systems, due diligence, production assurance visits and MOTs, implementing CIISA Standards, monitoring crew welfare, channels for speaking up / reporting concerns, supporting industry partnerships and research.
- Risk: Workplace services in the UK: Security, cleaning, construction, maintenance and catering contractors who perform essential operational tasks at ITV sites.
- Group: Migrants
- Location: United Kingdom
- Mitigation: Continuing to pay Living Wage. Close management of contractors, checking terms, conditions, and pay. Independent audit of workplaces services function and its suppliers confirmed robust controls. Managers receive modern slavery training and address labour practices in quarterly supplier meetings. We also engage landlords to verify their due diligence and Living Wage status.
- Risk: Merchandise supply chains: Manufacturing workers in low cost countries, especially those in supply chains of third party licensees using ITV’s IP to produce branded consumer products.
- Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees
- Location: China
- Mitigation: Engaging with merchandising suppliers and improving due diligence. Risk-based questionnaires for licensees. Helping teams to avoid high-risk locations. Reviewing brand/licensing approach to strengthen oversight. Continuing to work with partners to map supply chains and gain better visibility of risks.
A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
07 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
08 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
09 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
10 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
11 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
