Course contents
This training course is broken down into 2 sections
- 1 Modern Slavery Spectrum
- 2 You and Your Organisation
SECTION 1
Modern Slavery is an umbrella term that covers various words like slavery, servitude, forced labour & human trafficking. There are many different categories that sit within these types and they often overlap, so a victim of one type of slavery can often be a victim of two or three. Throughout this course, we will be sharing case studies to raise awareness of the most common types and to show you how to spot the signs.
SECTION 2
In this section, we’ll discuss what you and your organisation can do to help eradicate it and will cover; how to report any concerns or suspicions, compliance with the Modern Slavery Act, working practices and policies and your organisation's supply chain. We also include a couple of extra case studies from two industries that are at high risk for modern slavery.
About this course
Modern Slavery is an on-going issue within the United Kingdom. In 2017, the National Referral Mechanism reports 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.

I have never thought about this until this course but now I will be looking out for the signs
Interesting, logical, informative
I got the impression that the modern slavery ends at the UK - there was little/no mention of the conditions of supply chain factories/firms in other countries and making the distinction between modern slavery as defined in the UK from poorer pay or longer hours in poorer working conditions experienced by workers in other countries which cannot necessarily modern slavery.

Dissapointing
I think you exaggerate when you say there is more slavery now than has ever been , evidence please I think you overstep the mark when virtually ordering me to be vigilant at home ( chapter 16 ) this is a workplace video what I do in my own time is up to me and I think the video wording should be changed to a more encouraging and less authoritarian stance . Although I would agree the video on the whole is good with good intentions these two points diminish the experience for me
Why is this training important?
Compliance
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Modern Slavery Act 2015, is designed to combat modern-day slavery within the UK.
The Act was created in order to help law enforcement to punish those who are involved in these acts and also increasing the amount of support that victims receive. As well as other factors, the Act aims to;
- create an independent anti-slavery commissioner
- require businesses over a certain size to publish any actions taken to ensure there is no modern slavery within their business or supply chain
- introduce a defence for victims
- assign an obligation to the Secretary of State to produce statutory guidance for victims.
The Act will "send the strongest possible message to criminals that if you are involved in this disgusting trade in human beings, you will be arrested, you will be prosecuted and you will be locked up."
Business benefits
This course will help you raise awareness and educate your employees on the signs of slavery, helping to build their confidence and increase the likelihood that they’ll speak up if they notice anything suspicious.
This’ll help you root out any potential slavery in your supply chain, making sure that you stay legally compliant, increasing your moral standing and reputation with customers, and, most importantly, improving the lives of people forced into servitude the world over.
