Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the Chartered Institute of Building toolkit <i>Building a Fairer System: Tackling modern day slavery in construction supply chains</i>, published on 13 July 2016.

We welcome the report and are encouraged that the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is taking the initiative to shine a light on and prevent modern slavery in the construction sector. We encourage other sectors to do the same.

The report and related toolkit, which CIOB designed with Stronger Together, seek to raise awareness and advise on practical steps that construction professionals can take to address this problem.
