Workshop

Overview

*** To continue to support businesses remotely, this workshop has been adapted to recreate the experience of our face-to-face training and is now available as an interactive online training session. In-house workshops are available on request with consultation with our team.***

Understand the prevalence of modern slavery within the construction sector, your responsibilities and best practice associated with tackling it.

Forced labour and labour trafficking are hidden crimes undertaken by exploitative individuals and criminal gangs. Detected cases within the UK construction sector are escalating. Many businesses are not aware that this exploitation may be taking place within their operations and supply chains today.

Developed with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and delivered by experts from the construction sector this pragmatic training, available online and face-to-face, will ensure you are informed and equipped to address forced labour, implement good practice and minimise the risk to your business.

“Stronger Together has a track record of delivering results for the most demanding of companies and their sector-specific programmes are proven to work. Delivered as part of the programme, Stronger Together’s training sets out more than legal or due diligence requirements – it shows what is right. Time and again, the training creates those “light bulb” moments when you know you have something to deal with. As a result it’s very powerful.”
Chris Blythe, former Chief Executive of The Chartered Institute of Building
