Modern slavery
- Modern slavery statement (pdf 147 kb)
Someone is in slavery if they are:
- forced to work
- owned or controlled by an employer
- dehumanised
- treated as a commodity or property
- have restrictions placed on their freedom of movement
In Hampshire and the Isle of Wight 144 individuals were recognised as potential victims of trafficking in 2018.
Many more are likely to be living in exploitative circumstances by human traffickers but are too afraid to seek help or support from statutory organisations such as the police.
If you suspect modern slavery, report it to the modern slavery helpline on 08000 121 700 or the police on 101. In an emergency always call 999.
You could save a life, or greatly improve one.
