Trafficking, Exploitation and Modern Slavery e-learning course

Essential training requirement

This course is about understanding, combating and helping people who are being trafficked, exploited or used in modern slavery.

It examines different types of exploitation, how individuals become victim to abuse and what actions professionals should take to recognise victims and help them.

The training is essential for any professional who may come into contact with children, young people, or adults who may have been trafficked.

Subject Matter Experts

This course has been developed with ECPAT UK who are a leading children’s rights organisation campaigning against child trafficking and exploitation; and Pete Nelson, who works for West Yorkshire Police in the fight against human trafficking and is the longest serving professional in the field.

Also contributing to the course are Newport City Council, Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Board and Lincolnshire Safeguarding Adults Board.
