Forced labour, child labour and exploitative recruitment rarely sit inside a company's own gates. They surface three or four tiers down the supply chain, where visibility is thin and reputational, legal and financial exposure is high. Five days equip compliance, procurement and sustainability teams to find and manage these risks before a buyer, investor or regulator does. You map operations and suppliers by sector and geography, rank salient risks using the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and learn to spot the ILO indicators of forced labour in recruitment fees, wage deductions, retained passports and worker housing.
Later sessions cover supplier questionnaires, audits, worker voice channels, grievance mechanisms, remediation and responsible exit, and the preparation of an annual modern slavery statement or comparable disclosure. Delivery is in the classroom, online or in-house for your organisation. Procurement officers, compliance and legal advisers, ESG managers, HR leaders and NGO staff who partner with business will find the material directly applicable. Afterwards you can draft a risk assessment, a supplier action plan and a remediation protocol, and you receive a CPD-accredited certificate.
Investors, lenders and large buyers now expect organisations to show that they know where people are being harmed in their business relationships, and what they are doing about it. Modern slavery, trafficking and unsafe working conditions are most likely to appear in agriculture, mining, construction, manufacturing, fishing, cleaning and security services, and in the labour recruitment channels that feed them. Organisations that cannot demonstrate a credible process risk lost contracts, enforcement action and serious harm to workers.
The Human Rights Due Diligence and Modern Slavery Risk Training Course follows the due diligence cycle from policy commitment to remediation. Participants begin with the expectations set by the UN Guiding Principles and OECD guidance, then learn to scope risk, identify salient issues, and prioritise suppliers for deeper review. They examine how to read an audit report critically, why audits alone miss exploitation, and how worker interviews, grievance data and community engagement fill the gaps. The programme then turns to remediation, contract clauses, supplier capacity building, responsible disengagement, reporting and board oversight.
Every session works from realistic scenarios such as a labour broker charging recruitment fees or a contractor housing workers in unsafe camps. Participants finish with a draft risk map, a supplier engagement plan and a grievance and remediation procedure they can adapt to their own organisation.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
