Overview

Abuses that take place in supply chains can be hard to spot, particularly where those abuses take place within the manufacturing facilities of tier 2 suppliers, with whom the company has no direct relationship. Some companies, such as Apple, carry out detailed audits, which they report on annually, of their supply chain sustainability. They look to discover if their Tier 2 suppliers are using underage labour, involuntary or bonded labour or making workers work excessive hours. Not every company is so scrupulous and abuses are often discovered in industry such as garment manufacturing. Supply chain sustainability is also concerned with traceability of raw materials as well as other topics.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
