Training and awareness

Appropriate training underpins the procurement process with recognition of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply’s (CIPS) certificate on Ethical Procurement and Supply.

Mandatory Modern Slavery Awareness training for staff to raise awareness of modern slavery and trafficking is in place.

The council supports partners and members of the public to be aware of the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking that affect people of all ages and backgrounds. This includes working with our key partners and partnerships, including relevant community safety and safeguarding boards. This includes awareness of the reporting process for concerns regarding modern slavery.

Information regarding modern slavery, including contacts for reporting concerns can be found on the council website
