Although a growing number of companies profess to focus on modern slavery in their own operations and supply chains, there is a considerable gap between theory and practice. The Graduate Certificate in Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking holistically explores severe forms of labour exploitation, and equips students with the skills needed to proactively identify, prevent and remedy modern slavery and human trafficking. The Graduate Certificate is a foundation program that leads on to the Graduate Diploma.
