Dear Maya Esslemont

Request FOI/8732

Further to your request received on 24/11/2023, I confirm that the Council
has now considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000. Specifically, you have requested the following information:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. This request
relates to the training offered to staff on modern slavery. Please share
the details of training on modern slavery delivered to staff, including:

- The nature of training offered (e.g. e-learning or in-person, shared
with housing staff or adult safeguarding etc) and whether themes of
cultural intelligence, equality, diversity and inclusion are included as
part of this training
- Where held, please share copies of training materials used to support
council staff in identifying modern slavery (such as PDFs, guidance, or
presentations)

Croydon Council offers an e-learning course on Modern Slavery and Human
Trafficking. The course is accessible to all Croydon staff on Croydon
Learning (the Council’s Learning Management System).

Due to the way that the course is constructed we could only download a
version in computer programming language, therefore, to meet your request,
the most expedient and efficient option would be to provide you, upon
provision of an email address, access to the course.  This way you may, at
your leisure, go through the course modules (see screenshot of module list
and titles below).

Please note that access will be time sensitive and will expire within 1
month of receipt of your email address.
 

The Council publishes Access to Information requests and responses on its
online Disclosure Log. (Any request included within this log will be
anonymised appropriately)

To view the Council’s Disclosure Log, please visit our website available

If you are dissatisfied with the way the Council has handled your request
under the Freedom of Information Act / Environmental Information
Regulations you may ask for an internal review. This should be submitted
to us within 40 working days of this response. You can do this by
outlining the details of your complaint by:

Email:        [2][Croydon Borough Council request email]

considered only at the discretion of the council.

the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
