MODERN SLAVERY

30 minutes, including interactions and videos

Suitable for

This e-learning course provides an understanding for all professionals. Even
employees that may only rarely be in situations where they might come across
modern slavery can benefit from a basic understanding of what to look for.

Overview

Modern slavery is the illegal exploitation of people for personal or commercial gain.
Victims are trapped in servitude, which they were deceived or coerced into, and
cannot leave.

These are victims of modern slavery and human trafficking, and their plight often
goes by unnoticed or with people simply not appreciating that this could be
happening.

In order to combat modern slavery, the Modern Slavery Act came into force in 2015.
Its aim is to combat slavery while consolidating existing laws.

A strong focus is given to the Transparency in Supply Chains clause, with learners
being given guidance on how victims can be exploited within a supply chain. A
survey by the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) shows that only
45 per cent of organisations have provided any training to their staff to help them
spot modern slavery, while just 42 per cent have mapped their supply chains to
better understand their risks.
