As part of their site set up, this contractor has used a whole wall to create a large, visible iconographic around modern day slavery and statistics related to it along with a contact number for the modern slavery helpline – a free, confidential, 24/7 with over 200 languages.
The graphic is positioned outside of a high flow area near the canteen and so they can advertise to as many people as possible targeting the operatives who use these spaces.
It is everyone’s responsibility to look for signs of modern slavery and the contractor have e-learning modules that every member of their staff have to complete on the topic.

As a principal contractor (PC) employing a sub-contractor to carryout works on site, does the sub-contractor carry the responsibility to make sure that their work force have been adequately vetted prion to coming on site?, PC sub out most of he labor. I suppose we can and do request for our contractors to do their checks before coming to site, but the smaller contractors could be challenging for them.
