Modern Slavery and Homelessness (full day course – Gold)

This full day Modern Slavery and Homelessness training course run by Hestia will provide you and your organisation with an in-depth understanding of the scale and nature of Modern Slavery in the UK and globally today. In the morning, we discuss the forms modern slavery is taking in the UK with real life case studies to illustrate its complexity and its involvement in migration, homelessness, and organised crime. Delegates learn how to identify if someone is experiencing or is at risk of Modern Slavery by delving into what makes people vulnerable and what the drivers of exploitation are. During the afternoon, delegates will take a deep dive into the UK’s current support systems, how to access the National Referral Mechanism, accommodation options and the common needs and barriers to disclosure. The training concludes with a look at yearly and quarterly trends and consideration of the impact of the latest legislation, such as the new Nationality And Boarders Act 2022, and the Illegal Migration Act 2023.
