Building on the success of the new e-learning platform, IETP is launching the second module designed to raise factory members’ awareness of Modern Slavery. Investors, consumers, and governments are increasingly expecting businesses to perform due diligence to ensure their supply chains are modern-slavery-free, and new and stronger anti-slavery laws are approaching to enforce this. Therefore, businesses need to get a good understanding of the issue and its potential impact.

Despite the challenges of COVID-19, 10 Chinese factories in the ICTI Ethical Toy Program (IETP) are implementing the Family-Friendly Spaces (FFS) program this summer. FFS aims to provide secure and well-equipped spaces at factories for children to learn and play while their parents work. By embracing this program during these challenging times, these factories are showing themselves to be supportive, caring, and family-friendly employers. New factories, IETP, and our implementation partner CCRCSR have gone through the steps below to build factories' knowledge on how to run the FFS program and transform spaces into safe, colorful, and fun activity areas for children.
