Modern Slavery

We are working with our Fellows to update our modern slavery resources with the latest information from multiple sources including Walk Free’s recently released Global Slavery Index 2023 Dataset. Thank you for your patience.

What is Modern Slavery?

Slavery is not a historical issue. Modern slavery can take many forms and refers to instances of human exploitation where the victim cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, deception, abuse of power or other forms of coercion.

European view
The UK Supply Chain Sustainability School provides modern slavery learning resources for European built environment audiences.

The Modern Slavery Act in Practice – strategies & processes for action.

WATCH all the videos in this series

This half-day workshop from 29 Aug 2019 in collaboration with GHD and ISCA showcased how leaders in the sector were preparing for the requirements of the Act and implementing change throughout their supply chain for greater transparency as well as raising awareness of human rights and modern slavery issues. Through case studies, a panel discussion and peer-to-peer learning participants dived into the strategies, processes and actions required to shift practices to a new level towards eradicating modern slavery up and down our supply chains. The event aimed to understand the modern slavery legislation better and what it means for the Australian Government, business and industry.
