The Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner’s Strategic Plan for 2019 – 2021

The Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner’s Strategic Plan for 2019 – 2021

On Anti-Slavery Day, October 18th, the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Dame Sara Thornton, published the Strategic Plan for 2019 – 2021, outlining priorities for the coming years for the UK in combating modern slavery. 

The report highlights four key focus areas: 

  • Improving victim care and support
  • Supporting law enforcement and prosecutions
  • Focusing on prevention
  • Getting value from research and innovation

The release of the new strategy closely follows the release of the Government’s 2019 UK Annual Modern Slavery Report, released earlier this month.
