Policy Connect is delighted to invite you to our next event focusing on the tragedy of Modern Day Slavery.

Register here.

We will be exploring the challenges in addressing MDS, progress made since the Modern Slavery Act, and emerging best-practice, ahead of Anti-Slavery Day on the 18th October. We will also hear updates from the waste and resources sector, given recent reports that two thirds of UK modern slavery victims have been involved in the sector, to explore progress to-date and how the sector is addressing this.

Keynote Address:

• The Rt Hon Theresa May MP, Former Prime Minister

Chair:

• The Rt Hon Karen Bradley MP, Chair of the Modern Slavery APPG

Speakers:

• Professor Parosha Chandran, Kings College London
• Darryl Dixon, Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority
• Lauren Saunders, Unseen
