AGREED:

That statement on Modern Slavery as a position statement for North Northamptonshire Council as set out in the Appendices be supported.

(Reason for decision - Organisations must publish an annual statement setting out the steps they take to prevent modern slavery in their business and their supply chains. This is a requirement under section 54 (Transparency in Supply Chains) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.)

The Assistant Director for Housing and Communities introduced the report which outlined the commitment of North Northamptonshire Council to preventing and acting against identified slavery and human trafficking in its corporate activities, its supply chains, and the wider community.

Members noted that the Modern Slavery Statement will be published annually by North Northamptonshire Council.

Members felt that enforcement would be key in ensuring the commitments of the statement are consistently met and suggested that reporting could be strengthened through the development of wider partnership working.
