Workshop

Overview

Join an interactive workshop to understand modern slavery and labour exploitation risks within UK and Ireland businesses.

Workshop Overview

Developed and delivered by experienced practitioners, this practical training will ensure you are informed and equipped to address forced labour, implement good practice and minimise risks. Cases of modern slavery are escalating. Forced labour is a hidden crime happening all over the UK and in Ireland, occurring within legitimate businesses as exploitative individuals and criminal gangs infiltrate and profit from vulnerable workers. Many businesses are oblivious to how exploitation is occurring within their organisation and of their obligations to understand modern slavery risks and mitigate against them.
