Victims of modern slavery are likely to come into contact with a wide range of services and public authorities in the course of their journey. Each of these services has an opportunity to disrupt the individual’s trafficking experience and prevent further harm.
As authorities begin to understand the part that their staff can play in disrupting modern slavery offences and supporting victims, the range of guidance available to frontline staff has increased. Housed on this page is a selection of key guidance for different areas, including:
- Local Authority
- NHS
- Victim Support
- Children
- NRM First Responders
- Private Sector
- Homeless Sector
- Migrant Support
