Child sexual exploitation (CSE) is often viewed and managed in isolation, despite its deep interconnection with other human impact crimes, like modern slavery. This siloed approach can limit our effectiveness in addressing the full range of these interrelated issues.
As organisations increasingly focus on minimising the risks of modern slavery through efforts prompted by the Modern Slavery Act, there is a significant and urgent opportunity to extend this same vigilance to protecting customers, particularly children, from harm. Regulatory changes and evolving stakeholder expectations are also intensifying, with customer outcomes critical to maintaining a social licence to operate.
Our August Brown Bag will shed light on how organisations can leverage existing modern slavery efforts for broader harm minimisation. Drawing on lessons learned across industries, this session will discuss embedding safety principles in the design, development, and deployment of products and services. Featuring Sarah Minahan and Gemma Livingston, Directors of KPMG’s Human Rights and Social Impact services in Australia and New Zealand, the discussion will explore specialist insights, real-world case studies, and practical actions to help keep some of your most vulnerable customers – children – safe.
