Today a report was presented at Cabinet focusing on modern slavery which set out how the Council is currently tackling modern slavery in Plymouth. Modern slavery is rarely reported in Plymouth. So far in 2024, we have supported our police colleagues with a suspected modern slavery case linked to a restaurant in the city. Those who were in the property declined support except for one male who was supported through the National Referral Mechanism. The most common forms of modern slavery in the city are sexual exploitation and labour exploitation. However, one case in 2023 was suspected domestic servitude. Modern slavery victims are often some of the most vulnerable in our society. Victims can be any age, gender, nationality or ethnicity. If you suspect modern slavery, do not intervene as you could put yourself or others in danger. Contact the police at the earliest opportunity by phoning 101 (or 999 in an emergency).

Founder & Managing Partner at ALGO Law Firm | Former Major at Miami-Dade Police Department | Law Enforcement Consultant | Crisis Management
Miami-Dade Commission Chairman Oliver Gilbert attempted to spearhead significant revisions to the mutual aid agreements with municipal police departments on Tuesday. The smaller municipal agencies, which lack the resources of Miami-Dade County and its police department, rely on the County during large events, such as Spring Break on Miami Beach. Under the proposed agreement, the personnel costs for the assisting agency would be imposed upon the police department needing assistance. This revision would likely result in fewer police officers being available to handle events or crises, compromising the safety of citizens as cities would be unable to bear the financial burden. After a strong showing by the Miami-Dade Association of Police Chiefs against this change, which I was proud to be a part of, the item was deferred. This will allow municipalities the opportunity to come to the table with Miami-Dade County and participate in creating a mutually acceptable revised mutual aid agreement. #ExperienceMatters #PublicSafety #MiamiDadeSheriff #IgnacioAlvarezForSheriff #Endorsed #FraternalOrderofPolice

We stand united in the fight against #ModernSlavery. Thank you to UKCMA members, The SES Group for highlighting the crucial campaign launched by Crimestoppers Trust UK: Modern Slavery in Plain Sight. Modern slavery is happening in our communities, often in plain sight and deeply intertwined with our lives without us realising it. Every day, people are coerced and forced into exploitative situations they can't refuse or leave. Crimestoppers is urging everyone to speak up and not remain silent when they know or suspect someone is a victim of modern slavery. The campaign focuses on three strands: 👉 Modern slavery on high streets 👉 Victims hidden in plain sight 👉 Exploitative recruitment practices Crimestoppers emphasise that their vital service will always remain 100% anonymous. If you've seen or suspect crime and don't want to speak to the police, you can contact Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111 or online, 24/7, 365 days a year. To learn more about the campaign, visit 👉 https://lnkd.in/eubiPucR #UKCMA #UnitedAgainstSlavery #CrowdManagement #EndHumanTrafficking #Events #EventProfs #Crowds #CrowdProfs #StrongerTogether

🎉 Success stories from our training programs highlight the importance of education and collaboration. One trained officer or advocate can lead to the rescue of multiple victims and the arrest of traffickers. In 2022, trained professionals helped recover over 2,000 victims in North America. Together, we can achieve more! #SuccessStories #IAHTITraining #EndTrafficking

News Report: "Police paedophile groomed, abused 50 boys over 30 years." What can child safe organisations learn from this? I started writing a post but I had too much to say so it has ended up as a blog. Cases like this are horrific, 50 known victims, decades of offending and so many missed opportunities to stop it. We must learn from cases like this. Across Australia we do have a roadmap for steps organisations can take to keep children safe, The National Principles for Child Safe Organisations (and related State/Territory based legislation), but these will only work if all staff and volunteers understand what they need to do to keep children safe. The quotes in this blog are from an article in the Northern Daily Leader (link to article in the blog). https://wix.to/Gqru2Iw

We must act now to provide the protection and support that victims of modern slavery desperately need. Fear of deportation, lack of awareness of their rights, and mistrust of authorities keep many trapped in exploitation. Together, we can change this. #EndSlavery #SupportVictims #Countdown2030

#AntiSlaveryDay, October 18th, is dedicated to raising awareness and driving action on modern slavery. This day, and every other day, we stand in solidarity with all victims and survivors impacted by the harsh realities of modern slavery. This Anti-Slavery Day, meet Anita, a hopeful student who comes to the UK to learn English, but quickly realises she’s been tricked by traffickers. Deceived, and robbed of freedom, she faces the extreme injustice of modern slavery. The path to freedom for modern slavery victims is riddled with challenges, worsened by inadequate UK laws. Too many, just like Anita, face unjust doubt, detention, and denial of safety. Some are re-trafficked and re-traumatised. Share this video to spread awareness and unite in solidarity against this crime. ✍️ Sign our petition to urge the UK government to stop detaining and deporting modern slavery survivors. https://lnkd.in/e6hSXZzz This video is created in consultation with Jane Lasonder - ISTAC OSCE and Consultant Survivor Leader. #AntiSlaveryWeek #ModernSlavery
