Modern Slavery
Modern Slavery
Modern Slavery is complex serious crime encompassing slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking.
- ‘Slavery’ is where ownership and total control is exercised over a person.
- ‘Servitude’ is a person being coerced to work whilst living on another’s property, with the impossibility of being able to change their circumstances.
- ‘Forced or compulsory labour’ involves work being exacted from any person by threats for which the person has not offered themselves voluntarily.
- A person commits the offence of trafficking where they arrange or facilitate the travel of another person with a view to that person being exploited.
- Exploitation is described as being a victim of slavery, servitude or forced and compulsory labour or being a victim of Sexual or Criminal Exploitation or organ harvesting.
Labour exploitation victims are forced to work in many different work sectors, most notably: Hand car washes, nail bars, factories, restaurants and takeaways, agriculture and domestic servitude in private households.
Sexual exploitation primarily occurs from sex working in pop up or fixed brothels. Child sexual exploitation should also consider a potential trafficking element.
Criminal exploitation occurs where a victim is forced to commit a criminal offence due them being a victim of modern slavery. The offences victims are most often committing are: drug supply e.g. county lines, cannabis cultivation, shoplifting, begging and benefit fraud.
Human smuggling is an Immigration crime and must not be confused with human trafficking, a Modern Slavery crime. However persons who have been smuggled into the UK may later be exploited and trafficked in the UK.
Very Brief Intervention
Ask
General Signs and Indicators of Modern Slavery
Deciding whether there are grounds to suspect a person may be a victim of exploitation under the Modern Slavery Act is a crucial initial step. In making this decision it is important to consider all the information available and not rely solely on the victim account. Look for the presence of the signs and indicators of modern slavery. Some indicators will include:
Here are questions you might ask if you suspect a person may be a victim of Modern Slavery. Victims are likely to be afraid of the authorities so make it clear that you are here to help and support and try to build trust.
Do you need medical attention?
Are you scared of anyone?
Are you being asked to do anything against your will?
Has your documentation been taken away or is it being held by somebody?
Are your movements restricted or do you feel you cannot leave because you feel threatened?
What would happen if you decided to leave your current situation?
Are you escorted to and from places? Work? Home?
Do you owe anyone money?
Assist
The National Referral Mechanism (NRM)
The NRM is the primary means of providing support to potential victims of trafficking. Any person under 18 who you believe may be a victim of modern slavery must be referred into the NRM, ideally after a multi-agency strategy discussion. An adult must consent to being referred. For detailed information about the NRM and how to make a referral see your force Intranet or SharePoint site, or go to the Home Office NRM website.
