Jaya Chakrabarti MBE Number 10 Downing Street Tech Reception

On the 15th November 2017 Jaya Chakrabarti MBE and the UK's top tech leaders gathered at Number 10 Downing Street at an exclusive reception with Prime Minister May.  The event was held to celebrate the economic and societal contribution of technology to the whole of the United Kingdom. Jaya was able to personally thank Prime Minister May for enacting the Modern Slavery Act with the ground-breaking transparency in supply chains clause, Section 54. It was during Prime Minister May's time as Home Secretary in 2015 that led to the opportunity for TISCreport to create the civil society register to not only monitor compliance with Section 54, but to do so without any cost to the tax payer. Jaya was, in return, personally commended by Prime Minister May for her contribution to the UK tech sector and to the tech war against Modern Slavery.
