Why are we talking about modern slavery? It doesn’t happen in this country.

A question I often hear being asked. It most certainly does happen in our country with an estimate of over 135,000 victims in the UK today.

OK perhaps in the UK but not in our area, not in our Diocese – Yes it does. There is a very high percentage of victims in our area – every town in Surrey will have victims of slavery.

It is happening Right Here, Right Now!

You can see some of the basic signs of slavery and how to report any concerns on our website at Modern Slavery – The Diocese of Southwark.
