Leadership & Governance

Inter-Departmental Ministerial Group on Modern Slavery

The UK’s primary strategic group on Modern Slavery is the Inter- Departmental Ministerial Group (IDMG) on Modern Slavery. The IDMG publishes an annual report, which provides an assessment of modern slavery in the UK and explains how the UK has responded to this threat over the last 12 months. The Welsh Government is a member of the IDMG.

Legal and Policy Frameworks

Modern Slavery Act 2015

The Modern Slavery Act received royal assent on 26 March 2015 introducing provisions extending existing support and protection for victims of human trafficking to victims of slavery, servitude and forced and compulsory labour. The Act also gives law enforcement the powers they need to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Link: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/30/contents/enacted

Modern Slavery Strategy

This Strategy sets out the cross-Government approach to tackling modern slavery. The aim of this Strategy is to reduce significantly the prevalence of modern slavery in the UK, as well as to enhance our international response. Modern slavery is often an international crime and requires a strong collaborative international response.

Link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/modern-slavery-strategy

Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner: Strategic Plan 2015–2017

The UK’s Commissioner Kevin Hyland OBE sets out his commitments in this Plan. The aims are two-fold: to see an increase in the numbers of victims of modern slavery that are identified and referred for appropriate support; and, in tandem, to see an increase in the numbers of prosecutions and convictions of traffickers and slave masters.

Modern Slavery Act 2015 review: one year on

This independent review by barrister Caroline Haughey was commissioned by the Prime Minister in her previous role as Home Secretary. The review looks at how well the criminal justice provisions in the Modern Slavery Act 2015 have been implemented and identifies gaps in the legislation, recommending ways to address issues identified.

Procurement and Supply Chains

Code of Practice on Ethical Employment in Supply Chains

Organisations that receive funding from Welsh Government, either directly or via grants or contracts, are expected to sign up to the code. This Code is designed to ensure that workers in public sector supply chains are employed ethically and in compliance with both the letter and spirit of UK, EU, and international laws.

Link: http://gov.wales/docs/dpsp/publications/valuewales/170502-ethical-en.pdf

TISC Report: Welsh Code of Practice

Welsh Government has partnered with TISCReport to manage sign-ups to the Code of Practice, and to help organisations to measure their progress.

Modern Slavery in Supply Chains: an introduction for procurement professionals

The increase in global sourcing opportunities has highlighted some serious issues in procurement practices, in particular the occurrence in the supply chain, unwittingly or otherwise, of modern slavery. From every perspective – reputational, financial and ethical – this is not acceptable in the 21st century.

Link: https://www.cips.org/Documents/About%20CIPS/Ethics/CIPS_ModernSlavery_Broch_WEB.pdf

Tackling Modern Slavery in Supply chains

It is aimed at those who want concrete guidance on how to reduce or eliminate the risk of modern slavery occurring in their supply chains, either as a direct or indirect result of their procurement practices. For the purpose of simplicity, we use the terms company, however this Guide is relevant to all governments and any other organisation wishing to tackle slavery in their supply chains.

The UK’s National Referral Mechanism (NRM) is a victim identification and support process.

See NRM Process Map below. Link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/human-trafficking-victims-referral-and-assessment-forms

Duty to Notify the Home Office of Potential Victims of Modern Slavery

Since November 2015, specified public authorities have a duty to notify the Secretary of State of any individual encountered in England and Wales who they believe is a suspected victim of slavery or human trafficking. This information can be provided by completing a National Referral Mechanism form or an MS1 (Notification of a Potential Victim of Modern Slavery) form.

Further Guidance

Engaging with Victims/Survivors: Best Practice Guide

Potential victims of trafficking are likely to be extremely vulnerable. They may fear revealing their status or experiences to state authorities and will often mistrust individuals in authority.

Their ability to participate in any future proceedings, for example as a witness, will depend largely on their psychological, emotional and physical health. The National Crime Agency provides a best practice guide to the main issues and sensitivities which frontline practitioners should bear in mind when dealing with potential victims of human trafficking.

Reviews and Reports

Survivor Care and Vulnerable Groups

Effectiveness of Anti-Slavery Training and Survivor Care Pathway

The Welsh Government commissioned Cordis Bright to conduct an evaluation of two key anti-slavery work streams in Wales: anti- slavery training and the survivor care pathway (SCP). The objectives of this research were to:

 Assess the implementation of the anti-slavery training and the survivor care pathway;  Evaluate to what extent their implementation contributes to the Welsh Government aim to make Wales hostile to slavery and provide the best possible support to survivors; and  Identify how they might be strengthened or changed in the future to maximise their effectiveness. See Wales Victim Response Pathway on page 15.
