Course description

The Level 1 Award in Workers’ Rights and Labour Exploitation has been developed to raise awareness of the basic employment rights provided by UK law. You will gain an understanding of the job application process and how to spot if an advertisement is genuine or not. You will also gain the tools to enable you to understand whether or not you, or a colleague, are being exploited and the process for how this should be reported. This qualification has been designed in conjunction with the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority.
