Designing an Effective Modern Slavery Response Framework
A practical guide to the key pillars of an effective modern slavery response framework, from governance and policy through to grievance and remediation.
Every organisation faces modern slavery risk differently. Industry, geography, supply chain complexity and available resources all shape what an effective response looks like in practice. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but there are clear ingredients that distinguish an effective framework from one that exists only on paper.
Experience has shown that a compliance-only mindset tends to produce statements that satisfy a checklist while failing to address real risk in supply chains. Disclosure alone does not prevent harm.
Whether you're starting from scratch and want to understand the key building blocks, or you already have something in place and are looking to strengthen it, this webinar walks through what an effective modern slavery response framework looks like in practice. We’ll cover the documents and governance structures that form the foundation, right through to the due diligence and external engagement activities that demonstrate real-world commitment.
What we'll cover
- Governance and policy: Core documents, policies and instruments and how they connect to each other
- Training: How to design programs relevant to your organisation
- Risk assessment and due diligence: How to move from reactive compliance to proactive, risk-based systems
- External engagement: Why multi-stakeholder collaboration remains underutilised and how to build it effectively
- Grievance and remediation: How to design accessible mechanisms that demonstrate genuine commitment to protecting people
