We understand that complying with the law and implementing good practice takes time and costs money. Our toolkit integrates our legal, human rights and business expertise into a tool to help save businesses time and money by allowing them to benchmark their current practices and respond to any gaps that are identified.
Why do businesses need to address modern slavery?
The passing of the UK Modern Slavery Act in 2015 has put the spotlight back on businesses and transparency in supply chains.
Forced labour and human trafficking is a global problem that exists in every region of the world and in every economy. It affects both domestic and international markets.
Businesses have to consider how they manage the risk of human rights abuses and whether they will take a preventative or proactive approach to tackling modern slavery in their organisations and supply chains.
Businesses are also required by law to publish an annual modern slavery and human trafficking statement.
What’s included within the toolkit?
The toolkit contains:
- a checklist
- a score card
- a range of template documents and guidance notes to help give businesses a structure to develop their own modern slavery policy and a modern slavery statement. If you have published a statement our toolkit provides information on how to improve it.
- A list of the best free resources that are available
- A FREE one hour consultation with Colleen Theron, CEO of Ardea International
