Modern Slavery Act 2015 – What are the implications?
From 1 October 2015 employers with an annual turnover of more than £36 Million will be required to produce and publish a slavery and trafficking statement each year. Here we ask about the Modern Slavery Act 2015 – What are the implications?
Section 54 of The Modern Slavery Act 2015 is the legislation that will attempt to resolve the issues of slavery with the requirement of the statement. The statement will need to include items such as:
- The company’s supply chain structure
- Due diligence process
- A risk assessment about parts of the supply chain that may cause problems
- Steps taken to counter the risk
- Training issued to staff on the subject
The statements will have to be signed off and produced by the top tier of the company. Each year the statements will have to be revisited, adjusted, signed off and published.
“Useful Workshop - Neurodiversity in the Workplace”
“I thought that hearing from the 3 different perspectives was really useful. I had some good understanding of the role of the employer having had to accommodate a neurodiverse employee in the past and having worked in education for 25 years I do have a radar for recognising potential individuals – however hearing from James was enlightening. It was good to meet representative from other local businesses too! ”
