The Home Office's e-learning on child-specific indicators of modern slavery takes a closer look at forms of exploitation that are particularly prevalent, and guides the learner through the safeguarding and NRM referral processes, exploring best practice and the specific knowledge required to respond to child cases of modern slavery.
The training aims to build confidence, knowledge and skills required for good conversations and provide professionals with resources specific to supporting people to take better care of their health and well-being.
After completing the training, professionals will be able to:
- Understand the range of factors that influence residents’ health and well-being
- Be ready to engage residents in short conversations about these issues
- Draw on a range of talking skills that help a good conversation
- Be able to find information, tools and services to help people improve their health and well-being
