Importance of Training

A Unified Approach to Combatting Modern Slavery in Ireland

Staff training on modern slavery is essential because modern slavery remains a present-day reality across Ireland. Its hidden and insidious nature often allows it to go unnoticed, despite being one of the gravest violations of human rights. Modern slavery encompasses a range of exploitative practices, including forced labour, sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, and criminal exploitation. Victims are frequently controlled through coercion, threats, or deception, leaving them unable to seek help and making it difficult for others to recognise the signs.

Due to its hidden nature, modern slavery at work is challenging to detect. Many people can be unaware they have encountered potential victims, underscoring the critical need for heightened awareness and vigilance. In Ireland, 566 people were identified as victims of human trafficking from 2013 to 2023, highlighting the urgency of tackling this ongoing crime.

Who is it For

Who needs Modern Slavery at Work training?

Preventing, detecting, and reporting modern slavery is the responsibility of everyone in the organisation. All staff members must understand modern slavery, be able to recognise the warning signs and be familiar with the policies and procedures in place in your organisation and supply chain to help prevent such offences.

This all-staff modern slavery training reinforces your organisation’s zero-tolerance commitment by aligning with existing policies and procedures. It empowers employees to act confidently and compliantly in identifying and addressing potential cases, creating a safer environment for everyone.
