/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Course Description

Modern slavery can affect any country; the United Nations estimates there are more than 40 million victims of modern slavery worldwide. Modern slavery can occur in any sector or industry, and at any point in a supply chain. High-risk industries include fashion, agriculture, hospitality, construction, electronics and extractives.

Both modules contain practical scenarios relating to issues affecting organisations with modern slavery in their supply chains. These scenarios equip staff to identify and take steps to prevent modern slavery from occurring in their supply chains.
