Modern slavery is the exploitation of people for personal or commercial gain. It has a devastating impact on people's lives across Wales, the UK, and the world.
Anti-Slavery Wales Online Learning is intended for people living and working in Wales. We particularly encourage those working and volunteering in settings with high modern slavery risks, and those engaging with people who may be experiencing or have experienced exploitation, to complete the learning.
Anti-Slavery Wales Online Learning has three modules to help you learn about exploitation in Wales:
- Module 1 : Introduction to Modern Slavery
- Module 2 : Identifying Signs of Modern Slavery
- Module 3 : Safeguarding Victims and Survivors of Modern Slavery
This online learning has been developed by the Welsh Government and multi-agency partners. The content has been reviewed by members of the Anti-Slavery Wales Forum and its Training and Awareness Group and the Human Trafficking Foundation's Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP). It should be considered alongside the Wales Safeguarding Procedures.
This learning can be completed at your own pace. Please note this is the public version of Anti-Slavery Wales Online Learning and you will not receive certificates after completing each of the modules. If your organisation uses the Learning@Wales platform, you can instead access the online learning using this link. You can also create an account using the same link to receive certificates when you complete each module. You can take breaks when you want.
Throughout this online learning, we share links to external websites and resources. The Welsh Government is not responsible for the content of such external sources and information may not be available in both Welsh and English.
Please note: This online learning covers sensitive issues which some people may find difficult. It is normal to experience a range of feelings when learning about harmful behaviours. Please be aware of your own well-being while working through this online learning.
Note on language
The Modern Slavery & Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre has set out the challenges in communicating about modern slavery. It is important not to reinforce inaccurate assumptions and perpetuate stereotypes. Where possible and appropriate we use language preferred by people with lived experience of exploitation.
