In conjunction with The Clewer Initiative – the Church of England’s Modern Slavery awareness raising initiative – the Church of England has created two online courses around the issue of Modern Slavery. You will need to have registered for an account with the national safeguarding portal and then the courses can be found under ‘Additional Resources’. Find the portal here.
