Human trafficking is more common than you think. In fact, there are about 40.3 million people being trafficked right now. And unfortunately, the hospitality industry is a really common vehicle for human trafficking.

There are many reasons for this: unusual hours, irregular schedules, undocumented labor, and high turnover are all really common in the industry, so it's easier to disguise exploitation than in other businesses.

But this also means that hospitality staff are in a prime position to spot the signs, feel confident about what to do next, and make a difference. So that's what you'll get from this course.

With guidance from Phil Brewer, a specialist advisor on modern slavery and human trafficking for the Human Trafficking Foundation, you'll learn how to recognize signs of human trafficking in real life. You'll also discover how your workplace can put together an effective policy for what to do if you or your coworkers encounter signs of human trafficking.
