Understanding Modern Slavery: Employer Responsibilities and Practical Action

Webinar | Thursday 5 November 2026 | 13:00-14:00 | 1 Hour

More than ten years after the introduction of the Modern Slavery Act, organisations continue to face increasing scrutiny of how they identify, prevent and respond to modern slavery risks within their operations, workforce and supply chains. Employers and public sector bodies must not only understand their legal obligations but also be equipped to recognise potential indicators of exploitation and take appropriate action when concerns arise.

Join Bevan Brittan's employment, immigration and regulatory specialists for a practical one-hour webinar exploring the current modern slavery landscape and the responsibilities placed on employers. Drawing on real-world experience, our speakers will examine where modern slavery risks can arise in the workplace, the interaction between employment and immigration compliance, and the steps organisations can take to strengthen their governance and safeguard vulnerable individuals.

During the session we will cover:

• The current modern slavery landscape and key legal developments.

• Employer responsibilities under employment and immigration law.

• Modern slavery risks in recruitment, employment practices and labour supply chains.

• Identifying indicators of exploitation and safeguarding.

• Practical governance, compliance and risk-management measures.

• Actions organisations can take to strengthen prevention and reporting processes.

The webinar will provide practical insights for HR professionals, in-house legal teams, compliance professionals, procurement teams, senior leaders and public sector organisations seeking to understand and manage modern slavery risks effectively.

Date: Thursday 5 November 2026 | Time: 13:00-14:00
Format: Zoom webinar  | Speakers: Tijen Ahmet, Ruth Le Page, Louise Mansfield and Julia Jones.
