Why This Training is Critical Now

For every 1,000 people globally, 3.5 are working in forced labour conditions. Your organisation could be exposed through direct employment, suppliers, or extended supply chains. The landmark 2024 World Uyghur Congress v National Crime Agency Court of Appeal ruling has revolutionised this landscape, establishing that companies cannot rely on paying fair market value to avoid money laundering liability when dealing with goods suspected of being produced through forced labour.

This case fundamentally changed the interpretation of the "adequate consideration" exemption under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), meaning goods produced through forced labour can remain "criminal property" throughout the supply chain, exposing businesses to serious financial crime risks.

What You'll Master

  • Definitions of forced labour, human trafficking, and modern slavery
  • International standards and UK legal frameworks (Modern Slavery Act 2015, Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act)
