Course Overview
Human trafficking and modern slavery are serious crimes that affect millions of people worldwide, including within the United Kingdom. Victims are often exploited for labour, sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, criminal activity, and other forms of abuse. Many victims remain hidden, and organisations across all sectors have an important role to play in identifying and responding to potential cases.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to modern slavery and human trafficking, helping learners understand how these crimes occur, how victims are exploited, and how organisations and individuals can recognise and report concerns.
The course explains the legal framework in the UK, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and outlines the responsibilities of organisations, professionals, and members of the public in helping prevent exploitation and support victims.
Through real case studies, practical examples, and clear guidance, learners will develop the knowledge required to recognise warning signs and understand what actions should be taken if modern slavery or trafficking is suspected.
