About this course

Modern slavery and human trafficking are serious crimes affecting millions of people across the world – including right here in the UK.

Many people think of slavery as a thing of the past, but it’s still very much present today. Victims can be forced into labour, criminal activity, sexual exploitation or domestic servitude – often through coercion, deception or abuse.

This course explains what modern slavery and human trafficking actually mean, who is at risk, how to spot the warning signs, and how to respond appropriately if someone discloses abuse or raises concerns.
