Modern Slavery Act: is your business ready?

“ETI’s new one-day training on Modern Slavery helps you to understand the impact of the new Modern Slavery Act and the steps companies should be taking.

The course covers:

• Understanding definitions & how they relate to the law: modern slavery, forced labour, trafficking, exploitation
• Making a Modern Slavery Statement – legal requirements & how to approach it (reviewing existing statements, criteria for a good statement)
• Due Diligence – what should be included, how it works
• Remediation – key considerations and approach in ensuring access to remedy
• Drafting your own statement with peer & stakeholder input

What makes this course different?

Most modern slavery courses currently available are developed for and delivered to companies only, and cover criminal elements of the problem – case studies, how to spot the signs, who to contact in specific cases. ETI’s course is different because it takes a multi-stakeholder perspective. It will enable you to consider who will be reading & reviewing your Modern Slavery Statement and what should inform it. While there are many approaches to due diligence and remediation, our approach is informed by the ETI Base Code, international law & guidance. It includes perspectives from companies and the trade unions and NGOs who will be scrutinising company policy and practice.”
