Stronger Together and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) recently launched a series of free practical resources, ranging from workplace posters and multi-language worker leaflets to one-day seminars, in an effort to tackle modern slavery in the construction sector. The initiative is supported and contributed to by some major firms in the industry, including Saint-Gobain, Westfield, Multiplex and Willmott Dixon. A similar initiative in retail, launched in October 2013, led to major company- and industry-level initiatives, as we shall see below. Supporting partners of the current programme include: Anti-Slavery International, Crimestoppers, the government body Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), and the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB).
