"Our members are encouraged and supported in seeking training, from procurement and supply to employment law courses, and we regularly pay for our short-term workers to get skills that will help their employment prospects either at Suma or elsewhere"

Although the statement mentions that "members are supported and encouraged into seeking training"; this was written in the context of Suma describing their 'democratic' workplace, and is generalised to all aspects within the company instead of any form of specific training that is geared towards being able to detect signs of slavery or trafficking.

"Several of our buyers have attained, or are signed up for CIPS Level 6 Professional Diploma Procurement and Supply, and are CIPS members. CIPS have a strong position on Modern Slavery, which remains a key theme for this global organisation. Members of the team have completed online courses on understanding the signs of modern slavery and what to do if they suspect that it is taking place within our supply chain. A member of the Suma Risk / Compliance team is doing a 5 week course on Ending Slavery, delivered by the University Of Nottingham. This training is ongoing, and we are committed to furthering this development." p. 2
