Training
The Council has previously provided Contract Management Training to its staff which was well received. This training covered how to deal with problems relating to management of suppliers/contactors and how to introduce service level agreements and contract monitoring processes. The training did not cover Modern Slavery.
The Council will explore how best to train staff on all aspects of Modern Slavery, including whether it should be carried out internally or by an external specialist organisation.
Monitoring and review
The Council will need to consider how to monitor and audit suppliers/contractors in the high-risk categories above in the longer term.
