UK: IOHS launches white paper calling governments, employers & the public to fight against modern slavery

The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) has published a white paper which calls on governments, employers and the public to fight against modern slavery around the world. The paper was launched as the UK Government is consulting on recommendations made in a review of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

To inform the white paper, IOSH commissioned YouGov to ask a sample of the British population for their thoughts about modern slavery. Of the 2,071 respondents, 63 per cent are concerned modern slavery is involved in products or services they use, 84 per cent want national awareness campaigns, and 76 per cent believe all organisations legally required to make modern slavery statements must say how they tackle it.

The white paper is linked below.
