What is Modern Slavery?
Modern slavery is a mainly hidden crime that targets the most vulnerable people in society. The term modern slavery covers several different forms of exploitation including human trafficking, domestic servitude, and sexual, criminal and labour exploitation.
Modern slavery is often associated with individuals or businesses that carry out illegal activities and seek to exploit vulnerable people. However, many legitimate businesses and organisations have complex supply chains and slavery is often a component in these supply chains. For example, children are forced to mine for cobalt for use in mobile phones, and 20% of the world’s cotton is produced by slave labour in China. These products are bought by major retailers in the UK and sold to you.
The importance of Modern Slavery Awareness training
In the UK, the number of potential modern slavery victims referred to the NRM (The National Referral Mechanism) has risen from 2,340 in 2014 to 10,613 in the last year.
Labour exploitation is the most common form of slavery for adults. It occurs in farms, construction, shops, bars, nail bars, car washes or manufacturing. Criminals force victims to do unpaid work, work for low wages or a wage that is kept by the owner. Victims are threatened or punished if they try to refuse.
Criminals also exploit minors for criminal activity. They force children to commit criminal activities such as shoplifting, pickpocketing, cannabis cultivation and drug dealing.
Modern slavery has a devastating impact on victims. It has severe consequences for physical and mental health. Victims sometimes carry out physically demanding work for long hours, in poor working conditions. This increases the risks of accidents, injury and death. Children may get involved in gangs, have mental health or substance misuse issues and be excluded from education. Also, the victims of modern slavery often experience poor mental health with high prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.
Modern slavery awareness training is important to help people understand modern slavery, learn to spot the signs, build their confidence to speak up if they encounter anything suspicious and report any concerns. Awareness of the issues will encourage your businesses to look for modern slavery signs within your business and your supply chain. It will help you to ensure that you comply with the law, and maintain good business morale and reputation. Increased awareness and reporting of concerns helps law enforcement to track and tackle modern slavery activities. Most importantly, modern slavery awareness contributes to protecting and improving lives of the victims.
