There is no one face to modern slavery. The victims of modern slavery can be our colleagues, contractors brought in for temporary work, our neighbours or someone we meet on the street. We may not realise that they are victims. And they may not know how to ask for help or feel unable to do so. Victims may even seem to have some freedom, but ultimately are controlled through fear, abuse and exploitation.
In order to do our duty to prevent this crime from happening, we must ensure that we and our colleagues know what it is and what to look for. Employers also have a legal responsibility to control modern slavery. Understanding and looking past our misconceptions are vital keys to prevention.
This online Modern Slavery training course programme provides trainees with an understanding of what modern slavery is, how to spot it and what action to take if you do. It is estimated that there are over 130,000 people living in modern slavery in the UK today. They can be found in every area of the country.
The victims are forced to work for little or no pay, abused physically and emotionally and often forced to commit other crimes. They are exploited and controlled and have little means of escape.
Modern slavery training raises awareness of how modern slavery occurs, the laws that apply, and how to recognise and report it. The course covers topics such as human trafficking, forced labour, domestic servitude, and sexual exploitation. It is designed to help individuals and organisations identify signs of abuse, understand their responsibilities, and take appropriate action.
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 is the main piece of legislation against modern slavery in the UK. While training is not legally required for all staff, the Act encourages businesses to ensure employees understand the risks and reporting procedures. Training is also essential for demonstrating due diligence and promoting ethical standards in procurement and employment practices.
Common types of modern slavery include:

Victims may appear free, but they’re often trapped in cycles of abuse, debt or fear, with no real means of escape.
Modern slavery training is suitable for anyone whose role may bring them into contact with potential victims or who has responsibilities in compliance, procurement or safeguarding. Key audiences include:
