View session here

According to the charity Unseen, which runs the UK Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline, there are well over 100,000 people in modern slavery in the UK - today, right now. Some may even work for you, but you won’t know, as they were provided by a known intermediary. Sadly ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law: the punishment if modern slavery is discovered in your labour or other supply chains could be a very hefty fine, or even a jail term. Join this panel to find out how you find out, and what you can do about it.
