Staying safe amidst far-right violence

This guide aims to pull together some basic principles and considerations for organisations and community groups to guide their thinking when making decisions about how to keep staff, volunteers, and the people they are working with feeling safe and supported. It also offers our solidarity with the people who are most affected by far-right violence, as we stand together as one community.

Adult safeguarding and modern slavery

An adult at risk is someone aged 18 years or older who might not be able to look after themselves, protect themselves from harm, or stop themselves being exploited. They may:

• have a mental health problem or illness, including dementia
• be involved with drug or alcohol abuse
• have a physical or learning disability
• be old and frail
• not be able to speak up for themselves
• neglect themselves and/or their home

Find out more, including how to make a report to the Council.

Modern slavery is a serious crime. Victims are:

• exploited
• controlled or held captive
• threatened or punished to stop them from escaping or reporting the crime

Anyone can be a target for modern slavery. But some people can be at greater risk because of money, social or health issues, or because of their age or immigration status.

Find out more, including how to spot the signs and make a report to the Police.

Modern slavery risk assessment and due diligence guidelines for adult social care - virtual event presentations and resources

The presentation slides and resource pack are now available for the recent virtual event that launched the new 'Establishing modern slavery risk assessment and due diligence in adult social care - a commissioning officer's guide'.

Unseen, who presented on the day about the growing number of reported cases, has relaunched their App. The App provides a simple guide to recognising the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking and reporting concerns with confidence.

There is also a guide to types of modern slavery, an outline of key legislation, and an explanation of how to contact the Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline in 27 languages. This latter function is useful for frontline workers communicating with a potential modern slavery victim who does not speak English.
