Newport 'slavery' farmer David Doran jailed for four years
'Juju' sex trafficker Lizzy Idahosa jailed for eight years
In summary…………… Modern day slavery is a multi- million pound industry and is happening in the UK today. Your role is to be aware of the issue, to ensure you can recognise the signs and are confident that you know what to do if you identify victims of slavery, trafficking and exploitation and to support them. So – is slavery and human trafficking a relevant issue for you and your organisation?
