About this course

Modern Slavery is an on-going issue within the United Kingdom. In 2017, the National Referral Mechanism reported that over 5000 potential victims were submitted, from 116 different nationalities. Which is a 35% increase from 2016. In fact, there are more slaves in the world today (40 million) than ever before.

Modern-day slavery is a crime. It includes slavery, human trafficking, forced or compulsory labour and servitude. People subject to slavery have to work against their will and do not have freedom of choice.

Someone is defined as being a victim of slavery if they are:

  • forced to work
  • controlled or owned by an individual or organisation that uses physical or mental exploitation
  • dehumanised and is bought or sold as ‘property’
  • is constrained or has restricted freedom of movement
  • deceived into servitude

This online Modern Slavery training course aims to educate users on identifying signs of modern-day slavery and to give confidence to people to speak up about it.
