What do we mean by Trafficking and Modern Slavery
People who have been trafficked or forced against their will into labour or marriage.
Modern Slavery is an umbrella term, which covers several human rights issues, of which human trafficking is one. It encompasses slavery, human trafficking, servitude and forced or compulsory labour. Examples of exploitation into which people can be trafficked and held in slavery include labour exploitation, domestic servitude, forced marriage, forced criminality, organ harvesting and/or sexual exploitation
In practice, the terms modern slavery and human trafficking are often used interchangeably.
The charity will need to have a full understanding of National Modern Slavery policy, local partnerships and other providers and seek to complement existing services
Questions your Grant Officer will ask may include:
- For those individuals coming to your service via means other than the National Referral Mechanism, how do you determine whether they’re a potential victim of trafficking?
- How do you work with the relevant National Referral Mechanism organisations?
