Tackling Modern Slavery in Government Supply Chains

This newly published guide is aimed at procurement and commercial practitioners at all levels who are
operating in government. It advocates a risk-based
approach to tackling modern slavery in
government supply chains and contains guidance
that can be applied to any organisation in the
public sector. It may also be relevant and useful to
organisations outside the public sector, such as
those in the voluntary or charitable sectors, or the
private sector.

Tackling Modern Slavery: Council Case Studies

This report provides a series of council
case studies which demonstrate the wide
range of activity now underway within local
government to respond to the growing threat
of modern slavery in the UK.

As the type and complexity of forms of
modern slavery have grown, so too has
the need for a wider response from local
government. It has become clear that many
departments within every type of local
authority, however big or small, may need
to be involved in campaigns, referrals and
assessments – whether social care, housing
or regulatory services.

These case studies are
intended to offer a representative sample of
the different ways in which local authorities
have responded to modern slavery in their
area.
