Modern slavery and human trafficking are, sadly, an ever-growing global issue that does not just affect developing countries but Europe, North America and the UK. With over 1746 cases reported in the UK in one year alone (2013), the challenge of countering modern slavery is becoming increasingly urgent.

To combat this issue, UK legislation has come into force to ensure that no UK organisations with a turnover in excess of £36 million will unwittingly use slave labour in their supply chains.

The new law includes British universities who, like their commercial counterparts, must publish an annual slavery and human trafficking statement that includes a report on steps taken in the previous financial year to ensure that no human rights violations have taken place in the supply chain.
