What we’re doing to tackle modern slavery 

Modern Slavery Plan 

The Modern Slavery Plan is our 2 year strategy to prevent modern slavery and to identify and support its victims. 

The plan has 3 key aims: 

1. To raise awareness and understanding of modern slavery, human trafficking and exploitation. With the expectation that this develops the capacity of the community and professionals to identify signs and respond accordingly. 
2. To establish clear guidelines and pathways for referral into the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) and develop a wider offer of support for victims. 
3. To work with partners, including the police, health, and voluntary community sector to enable greater success in detection, disruption, and prosecution.
