Modern Slavery

Modern slavery can happen anywhere and to anyone who is vulnerable.

Modern slavery could be happening all around us but it is usually out of sight as it generally looks like quite normal activity.  We need to ensure that people can report any suspicions they have in a safe and confidential environment. If you want to report a suspicion that you think may be modern slavery related contact the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700 or complete an on-line report  

The Modern Slavery Helpline will ask you information about the situation so that they can provide the information to the police. Your call will be dealt with confidentially and you do not need to tell them your name or any other details.

Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers to report a crime anonymously on 0800 555 111
