"Updating the UK National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights: Headline messages from workshops held in w/c 29 June"

[Within the context of updating the UK National Action Plan on business and human rights,] a series of eight workshops held at the end of June and the beginning of July...The workshops were themed according to the three ‘pillars’ of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, with two cross-cutting workshops on conflict-affected areas and modern-day slavery and human trafficking. Some of the comments and proposals made relate to the process as a whole, including the structure of the updated plan and ownership within government. These proposals were made at more than one workshop and for the sake of clarity they have been listed separately. The project team has reported ideas and recommendations impartially, even where they run counter to established government policy or there would be practical barriers to adoption. Therefore, the fact that a proposal is recorded here should not be taken as endorsement or as having the implication that the proposal is likely to be adopted in the updated plan.
