A range of specialised training is made available across the range of grades within my Department (Administrative, Agricultural, Engineering, Forestry, IT, Laboratory, Technical and Veterinary). The identification of this training is based on the knowledge and skills required to perform a particular role. My Department has not provided training to date to Agricultural Inspectorate staff on human trafficking awareness or human trafficking indicators.
