In accordance with Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act your annual Slavery and Human Trafficking statement will be due on 31st January 2019. A guide, written specifically for those in higher education, detailing the “Do’s and Don’t’s” of writing your statement is available to you and will prove a valuable resource. The statement should be a living document, it will evolve, year on year and develop along with your knowledge, experience and expertise in this area. A reminder of the key points:
The Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority has made two excellent short videos which can be shared widely in order to raise awareness of this issue. Whilst they are hard to watch they remind all of the reasons why we must all work together to fight this crime which affects so many.
