From 1 April 2023 government departments must follow updated guidance on identifying and managing the risk of modern slavery in their supply chains. Alex Minett, Head of Products and Markets at CHAS, looks at what’s changed and discusses some steps all organisations can take to prevent modern slavery within their networks.
Modern slavery is on the increase. The International Labour Organization (ILO) reports the Covid-19 pandemic has fuelled a surge in extreme poverty which is considered a major factor in driving forced labour. Recent UK government statistics reflect this; November 2022 saw the highest number of potential modern slavery victims referred to the Home Office for investigation since their National Referral Mechanism (NRM) began in 2009 – a 38% increase on the same quarter the previous year.
