Modern slavery and human trafficking statement
Training and awareness
Appropriate training underpins the procurement process with recognition of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply's (CIPS) certificate on ethical procurement and supply.
A programme of awareness training for staff identified as front-line officers to ensure that they are aware of the signs of modern slavery previously delivered, is currently being reviewed for refresher training. We also aim to implement a general awareness training programme for other staff to raise awareness of modern slavery and trafficking.
We support partners and members of the public to be aware of the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking that affect people of all ages and backgrounds. This includes:
- working with our key partners and partnerships
- including relevant community safety and safeguarding boards
- awareness of the reporting process for concerns regarding modern slavery
Information regarding modern slavery, including contacts for reporting concerns can be found on our safeguarding pages.
