Stats obtained by After Exploitation & @BMEAntislavery highlight a quarter of councils in England do not offer standalone training on #ModernSlavery. Without training, how can we expect to identify, respond to & #safeguard victims of #exploitation

We welcome the aim to increase #LegalAid fees for housing and immigration work. Many #survivors of slavery cannot access a lawyer. We hope the government can also invest in other areas of legal aid and other changes needed for a sustainable advice sector. lawgazette.co.uk/news/civil-…

Institutional racism is why you don’t hear voices of marginalised communities in the policy making space. Ministers like @YvetteCooperMP
@bphillipsonMP @jessphillips
should always question officials why no diverse voices at meetings. It’s due to racism.

Six years ago today, we at @afruca held a powerful diaspora conference in Parliament exploring trafficking of Africans to Europe and action to stem the flow. Today our anti slavery work is anchored in the work of BASNET @BMEAntislavery. Learn more here: bmeantislavery.org
“The NRM victim care contract must mandate contractors to include co-production with culturally knowledgeable BME organisations in service contracts and delivery. This is to ensure inclusion and that services meet cultural and diverse needs of survivors”
#basnetconference2024
“Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking is conflated with organised crime but there are many other forms of exploitation taking place”
#basnetconference2024
“There is no national response to modern slavery. The service you get as a victim depends on what part of the country you’re based and whose is providing the service. This has to change”
#basnetconference2024
“We need a whole system approach to change the NRM system which is very complex. Survivors might not understand how things work and it’s hard for their voices to be heard”. #basnetconference2024
“One size does not fit all. Most people in safe houses do not reach their potential because they are not provided with the right support - you are protected from the outside but not the inside” #basnetconference2024
