The UK Government has published its Modern Slavery Statement which sets out the government’s efforts to tackle modern slavery in supply chains. The report details how in 2019 the government took steps to identify, prevent and mitigate modern slavery in government supply chains and operations culminating in guidance for ministerial government departments being published in September 2019.
The report states that all ministerial government departments will begin the annual publication of their own modern slavery statements from September 2021.
