Professor Simon Green will be challenging our perceptions of 'victimhood' in this interactive online session from the Wilberforce Business Academy.

He will be exploring some of the latest thinking about how we empower people who have lived through exploitation and abuse. He will be talking about how businesses can nurture resilience with workers and with organisations.

The Wilberforce Business Academy has been set up to provide businesses and third-sector organisations with practical training on how to apply due diligence and best practices in the recruitment and management of workers across global supply chains.

The programme is led by Cristina Talens, Head of the Risk Assessment Service at the University of Hull's Wilberforce Institute. Cristina is a social auditor with 25 years’ international experience in labour, human rights and ethical trading.

We will close the session with a Q&A, where participants will have the opportunity to raise their own queries about labour and human rights issues.
