An estimated 49.6 million people are in modern slavery. Exploitation is happening to the people who live in our communities, right on our doorsteps, and we know we must play a role to ensure that it stops.

We ensure that local and national government policies meaningfully address modern slavery and labour rights violations and support survivors fully. This includes but also goes beyond the Modern Slavery Act. What does this actually mean? We work on projects which

• Embed better survivor support mechanisms into local practices
• Inform and impose specific and practically useful regulations on business
• Advocate for changes in new legislation where it might impact survivors or those vulnerable to exploitation.

We provide expertise to ensure that business policies and practices meaningfully incorporate activities that address modern slavery and uphold labour rights.
