Today, you are joined by Karen Laing our Training and Development Co-ordinator and our Deputy CEO, Matt Thompson. They will take you through how the NWG are supporting the awareness day, but also the journey of Modern Slavery legislation. 

Anti-Slavery Day, 18th October, provides an opportunity to raise awareness of human trafficking and modern slavery, and encourage government, local authorities, companies, charities and individuals to do what they can to address the problem. Not just today, but every day.
