Specialist areas of work and services:
Description:
Works to shape policy and provide a sustained and collective voice among NGOs, civil society, and voluntary organisations fighting modern day slavery
Experience, Background and Services:
The Human Trafficking Foundation grew out of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery with three objectives:
1. To shape policy and legislation by equipping parliamentarians and policy makers, lead government departments, local authorities, police and statutory agencies to better understand the extent and nature of human trafficking, and the need to adjust rapidly to changing trends;
2. To provide a sustained and collective voice amongst NGOs, civil society, and voluntary organisations fighting modern day slavery so that short-comings in current policy can be identified and addressed, and how that can best be tackled; and
3. Identifying opportunities for new and different types of intervention within the rapidly evolving landscape of human trafficking
All-Party Parliamentary Group
We provide the Secretariat to the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group on Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery, which played a significant part in the passage of the Modern Slavery Act, ensuring that additional clauses were added to the original draft. It now looks to make sure the legislation is effectively implemented.
National Advisory Forum
Our work includes holding a quarterly National Advisory Forum where professionals across the sector can stay informed about policy developments and have direct access to parliamentarians, and network.
National Network Coordinators Forum
Our National Network Coordinator Forum brings together leads of anti-trafficking partnerships across the country to share good practice and promote inter-regional cooperation.
London
We work closely with London boroughs to equip them to identify, support and assist victims of human trafficking, in light of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and Care Act 2014 and other ongoing developments.
Europe
Together with British Embassies in targeted European countries we work to set up parliamentary groups of interested parliamentarians to help move addressing human trafficking up the political agenda. Currently 15 country parliaments are involved. The long term purpose is to ensure that each European parliament has an ongoing cross party parliamentary committee specifically fighting human trafficking.
Victim Support Policy
The Foundation’s primary focus is on developing policy to improve support for victims of human trafficking and modern slavery. The Foundation works with NGO and statutory partners to produce policy recommendations to support victims' rehabilitation and recovery. We are pleased that in October 2017 government committed to include our Trafficking Survivor Care Standards, which were updated in 2018.
