Answer
We published guidance on the Modern Slavery Act on GOV.UK and a circular was sent to all bodies who are subject to the duty when section 52 was first introduced. In October 2016, we launched a communications campaign to raise awareness amongst public bodies and made communications materials available on GOV.UK. We will continue to promote the duty to notify in consultation with key partners.
