Educating for Change - Preventing and responding to modern slavery amongst university students in pre-service courses

This project aims to prevent modern slavery by producing a micro-credentialed course to be embedded into curriculum in Australian universities. The courses am
threefold is:
1.To educate pre-service students in the professions of medicine, nursing, midwifery, health, education, social work, psychology, law, and criminal justice to recognize potential modern slavery victims when they enter frontline service roles.
2.To increase awareness of modern slavery, work rights, and support services within student cohorts, including international and domestic students vulnerable to exploitation and forced marriage.
3.To up-skill key university staff, including counsellors, student services, and international student bodies to better recognize and respond to modern slavery risks within the student population.
The two-year project has national scope, reaching a high volume of students across at least 21 universities, and will have amplified effect when pre-service students enter the workforce.
