What is Modern Slavery Awareness training?
Modern Slavery Awareness training teaches learners how to recognise and respond to situations involving slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking.
Modern slavery can be hidden within communities, workplaces, private homes and supply chains. Victims may experience coercion, threats, restricted movement, financial control or other forms of exploitation and may not identify themselves as victims.
This course explains different types of modern slavery, common indicators, vulnerabilities affecting adults and children, and appropriate reporting and referral routes. It also introduces the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the National Referral Mechanism (NRM), Duty to Notify requirements and practical considerations when supporting potential victims.
The training supports safeguarding practice by helping learners recognise concerns and follow appropriate workplace procedures rather than attempting to investigate suspected exploitation themselves.

Who Is This Course For?
The Modern Slavery Awareness Course is suitable for people whose work could bring them into contact with potential victims of exploitation or expose them to modern slavery risks.
This includes care workers, healthcare assistants, nurses, social workers, safeguarding staff, support workers, domiciliary care workers, managers, HR and recruitment professionals, procurement teams, compliance officers and people responsible for supply chains.
It is also relevant to professionals working in education, charities, community organisations, housing, hospitality, construction, agriculture, transport and other sectors where exploitation may be encountered.
Healthcare and social care professionals can particularly benefit because victims may present to services without directly disclosing exploitation. NHS England recognises modern slavery awareness within safeguarding training and highlights the importance of healthcare professionals knowing how to recognise and respond to suspected cases.

Why Is Modern Slavery Awareness training important?
Modern slavery is often hidden, and victims may be unable or afraid to disclose what is happening to them. Staff therefore need to recognise indicators such as restricted freedom, signs of abuse, unusual working arrangements, fearfulness, financial control or another person speaking on someone’s behalf.
Effective Modern Slavery Awareness training helps workers recognise concerns early and respond through appropriate safeguarding, reporting and referral procedures. This is particularly important in healthcare and social care, where professionals may encounter vulnerable adults or children during routine contact.
Training also supports organisations in developing a workforce that understands exploitation risks, safeguarding responsibilities and relevant procedures. The Home Office specifically identifies awareness and training as important for professionals who may encounter potential victims.

Is Modern Slavery Awareness training a legal requirement in the UK?
There is no general provision in the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requiring every UK employee to complete a specific modern slavery awareness course.
However, organisations and professionals can have important legal and safeguarding responsibilities relating to modern slavery. The Modern Slavery Act 2015 establishes offences relating to slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. It also creates specific reporting and transparency obligations in defined circumstances.
For example, certain commercial organisations must publish annual modern slavery statements under section 54, while specified public authorities have Duty to Notify responsibilities under section 52.
Employers should therefore determine training requirements according to employees’ roles, safeguarding responsibilities, organisational risks and relevant sector guidance. Awareness training can provide evidence that staff have been equipped to recognise concerns and follow appropriate procedures.

Modern Slavery Awareness training FAQ?
What is modern slavery?
Modern slavery is an umbrella term covering serious forms of exploitation including slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. Exploitation can occur in workplaces, homes, communities and supply chains. Victims may be controlled through violence, threats, debt, deception, coercion or abuse of vulnerability and may find it difficult or unsafe to seek help.
Who needs Modern Slavery Awareness training?
Training is particularly relevant for people who could encounter potential victims or modern slavery risks through their work. This includes healthcare and social care staff, safeguarding teams, managers, HR and recruitment professionals, procurement teams, compliance staff, educators, charity workers and other frontline professionals. Employers should determine the appropriate training according to role, risk and responsibilities.
Is Modern Slavery Awareness training a legal requirement?
There is no blanket legal requirement for every UK employee to complete a particular modern slavery course. However, organisations and certain professionals have responsibilities under legislation and safeguarding frameworks. Training can help staff recognise exploitation, understand reporting procedures and fulfil responsibilities relevant to their role. Certain organisations also have transparency obligations under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
What are the signs of modern slavery?
Indicators can include fear or anxiety, signs of physical abuse, restricted freedom of movement, poor living or working conditions, excessive working hours, withheld wages or identity documents, debt, limited personal possessions and another person controlling communication. No single indicator necessarily proves modern slavery, so concerns should be considered carefully and reported through appropriate procedures.
How should I report suspected modern slavery?
The appropriate response depends on the circumstances, your role and whether anyone is in immediate danger. Staff should follow organisational safeguarding and reporting procedures and escalate concerns to the appropriate person or authority. The National Referral Mechanism provides a framework for identifying and referring potential victims for support. Emergency situations should be reported to the police.
What is the National Referral Mechanism?
The National Referral Mechanism (NRM) is the UK’s framework for identifying and referring potential victims of modern slavery and ensuring they can access appropriate support. Referrals into the NRM are made by designated First Responder organisations. The process and requirements differ depending on factors including whether the potential victim is an adult or a child.
How often should Modern Slavery Awareness training be refreshed?
UK legislation does not prescribe a universal expiry period for modern slavery awareness training. Employers should decide refresher frequency according to staff roles, risk assessments, safeguarding arrangements, organisational policies and changes to legislation or guidance. Refresher training may also be appropriate following changes in responsibilities, identified knowledge gaps or updates to reporting and referral procedures.
How long does the Modern Slavery Awareness Course take?
The Caredemy Modern Slavery Awareness Course takes approximately 1 hour to complete. It is delivered online, allowing learners to complete the training flexibly. After successfully completing the online assessment, learners receive an instant digital CPD-accredited certificate that can be retained as evidence of training.
