Modern slavery is a violation of human rights. It can be found throughout all economies and includes all situations where human freedom is exploited using coercion, threats, or deception. Anti-slavery laws and government organisations provide guidelines on how to identify and prevent this practice or behaviour.

To raise awareness about modern slavery and its social and economic effects, all organisations are required to provide their workforce with relevant training. This article provides all the necessary information that organisations require to know about modern slavery awareness training.
