Today is National Child Exploitation Awareness Day.
Too many children are still being blamed for their own exploitation.
They are not “making bad choices.”
They are being groomed, controlled and abused.
We need to see it for what it is - exploitation.

We’re encouraged to see #Emmerdale bringing the realities of modern slavery into the spotlight. It’s a stark reminder of why we remain committed to ending exploitation and standing alongside survivors.

#Slavery and #exploitation are rife in the U.K. this documentary shows how it unravels under our noses for years - in places where we eat and shop daily.
We all need to learn the signs and report the crime to the police or @MSHelpline .
It’s human lives that are at stake!
A new @BBCOne documentary has highlighted how the brutal exploitation of 16 people went undetected for years in the UK.
Our Navigators have supported many of the survivors involved and we were thrilled to see the traffickers recently convicted on all charges.

Investigation by @ITVNews reveals seasonal workers on British farms living in unsafe, overcrowded homes. Workers charged exorbitant rent for substandard accommodation, with some sharing beds. #farmworkers #exploitation #modernslavery

🚨Modern slavery survivors are being turned away from compensation
After Exploitation FOIs showed at least 82% of applications (1 Jan 23 - 23 June 24) were refused
@UKAntiSlavery called this "horrendous and a clear failing":

Great to work with @LauraMDuran @ucl @ECPATUK on their report. Children should be in safe loving environments not in Home Office hotels which make them vulnerable to traffickers. Everything must be done to find the missing children ecpat.org.uk/Handlers/Downlo…

Good to see the King’s Speech includes legislation to support victims, tackle criminal gangs and strengthen policing, and end violence against women and girls. The IASC will work to ensure the voices of modern slavery victims are heard as these Bills progress
