How Can Modern Slavery Training Help Fight The Worst Forms Of Child Labour

Every organisation must ensure there are no children involved in slavery within their operations or supply chains. One way to achieve this is by implementing modern slavery awareness training. Let us discuss the worst forms of child labour and how training can help prevent them.

What are the worst forms of child labour?

The worst forms of child labour include situations where children, under the age of 18, are exploited physically or involved in activities that limit their freedom, right to education, and growth. Some of these situations are when children:

• Are trafficked or forced into servitude, debt bondage, or labour
• Are exploited sexually through child prostitution or production of pornography
• Are involved in the production or trafficking of drugs
• Are engaged in work that will likely harm their health, safety, or morals
• Are made to work in hazardous environments or industries such as mining, quarrying, and construction.

Promoting child labour in any form is a punishable crime. Child labour in its worst forms can be devastating and many children may not even live to see the future. To stop any form of modern slavery, organisations across Australia must foster a safe workplace that does not include child labour. Providing modern slavery training is one of the best ways to enhance awareness.
