Agenda item

Claire Holloway, Head of Corporate Services, introduced the report which set out the LGA’s Modern Slavery Statement for approval. Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act requires any organisation which has an annual turnover in excess of £36 million to publish a Modern Slavery Statement. In April 2018 the IDeA Company turnover rose to £36.84 million, and so the LGA group was required to publish a Statement.

Members agreed the Statement, and suggested the LGA should promote its work to tackle Modern Slavery as most councils would also have to produce a Statement.

Decision

The LGA Leadership Board approved the Modern Slavery Statement.
