 Modern Slavery Workbook (For Approval)
The workbook has been developed by Martin Crow (MC) using national
guidance to provide awareness training. MC advised that there is also a
comprehensive e-learning module available on Modern Day Slavery and
Human Trafficking.

DT added there are a number of training tools available on this subject, but the
workbook will provide reassurance that the information has come from a
trusted source.

Helen Smithies (HS) queried the use of some of the terminology in the
workbook and requested some minor amendments. HS added that the
workbook provided a good overview of the subject and suggested that
colleagues should include links to the resource on intranet sites.

Subject to these changes the workbook was approved.

required minor amendments. All documents were agreed.

and anyone interested should contact Neil Harrison directly.
