Modern slavery affects millions of people worldwide and thousands of people are being exploited in the UK. By recognising the indicators of modern slavery and understanding how to respond, you can support some of the most vulnerable people in our communities and help prevent this crime from happening.

Learning outcomes:

• Understanding the definition of modern slavery and human trafficking

• Looking at the different types of exploitation

• Recognising the signs to identify individuals who are at risk/are being exploited

• Examining relevant legislation, such as the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the National Referral Mechanism

• Exploring barriers that prevent victims/survivors disclosing exploitation

• Understanding how to respond when we identify potential victims/survivors

This training will focus on adult victims/survivors of modern slavery and will make limited reference to children. Separate child trafficking training is available via the Local Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP) website.

This training will be delivered over Microsoft Teams. To ensure the training is accessible for everyone, contact charlotte.jamieson@rbkc.gov.uk before the course if you would benefit from any adjustments being made.
