Thank you so much @SarahChampionMP for reading and promoting the report. We're incredibly proud of this model and of how survivors are helping to shape it. We're excited to see the model piloted nationally and hope it will be incorporated into the UK's response to modern slavery.
Excellent report by @Hopeforjustice and partners on the positive impact of Independent Modern Slavery Advocacy in achieving sustainable recovery.
Survivor led design should be the expectation, not the exception. @SnowdropProject @UKAntiSlavery

Amazing poem 'Slavery Still Exists' from @daiwoolridge written to mark #AntiSlaveryDay.
Watch it and share widely because it really is fantastic!

#Modernslavery is often a crime hidden in plain sight, so it's likely you've seen people who are being exploited. They may appear to move freely, but traffickers and abusers use violence, coercion, fear, and manipulation to control their victims.

Thank you to @SarahChampionMP and survivor consultants Sosa & Alicia for their contributions at our report launch today: 'Beyond Survival: Living free, not in survival mode, and being able to dream again’ contains important evidence and recommendations:

A survivor of forced labour has been awarded an "insulting" 24p in compensation, and another just £14.75 – while their traffickers have served their sentences and are already out of prison.

Euan Fraser, our Senior Policy & Research Advisor, said: “Compensation is treated as a a 'nice-to-have' – but it provides a financial foundation and is an important part of a survivor’s recovery. To have such a small amount given is not only unhelpful, but insulting.”
Our report, launched to coincide with Anti-Slavery Day on Friday, shines a spotlight on barriers & challenges that survivors of modern slavery face when seeking compensation and makes a series of urgent recommendations. Find out more and read the report: hopeforjustice.org/news/new-…

This case could be a milestone, due to the size of the compensation award – we believe £352,000 is the largest ever in a modern slavery case – and because it could be a catalyst for change for other survivors seeking compensation in their recovery journey bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c724…
Barriers include lack of access to legal advice; restrictive criteria of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority; time limits; lack of a civil remedy; challenges with financial investigations of trafficking. Survivors struggle to get compensation even with professional help

Slavery survivor’s Olympic torch dream bbc.in/4bXFl7F
The facts in this piece by @Independent are shocking but sadly reflect the difficulties survivors face in accessing compensation. Survivors we help have waited years for CICA outcomes, which are rarely positive without advocacy & legal representation. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…
Thank you to @AfterExpProject for bringing these figures to light and to @UKAntiSlavery Eleanor Lyons for speaking out about this issue. More must be done to ensure that survivors of modern slavery have fair access to compensation.
Love this! Thank you so much to you all.
