MSA training (revised)
About the data
Training is important for raising awareness and understanding the importance of modern slavery issues. It helps employees and suppliers identify the risks of modern slavery, and how to address such risks if they find them. Training can be targeted at specific groups of employees, especially those working in procurement, those who deal with supply chains or recruitment, or are in leadership positions. The training can be in any form (face-to-face or online) but should explicitly address modern slavery.
For further information on training please refer to the Home Office Guidance on pp. 37.
Methodology
Does the company provide training specifically to address modern slavery and human trafficking?
This training can take place as a standalone course on modern slavery, be part of the code of conduct (explicitly mentioned in the Statement), or be embedded in a wider training program on supply chains or human rights. It can cover many different groups- procurement specialists, and those that work in recruitment or leadership positions.

* Note on choosing the Year of your answer
Read the MSA Statement carefully to find out what year it covers.
When a statement is referring to a Financial Year (FY) ending in Q1 or early Q2, it should be labeled with the previous year. Example:
- Statement for FY2018/19 ending in April 2019 = 2018
- Statement for FY2018/19 ending in May 2019 (or later) = 2019
