Report It

As with all crimes, it is important to report suspicions of modern slavery to the police. Do not attempt to intervene yourself - you may put yourself and others in danger, including the potential victim.

Alternatively, you can report your concerns online on the Crimestoppers website or Modern Slavery Helpline website. They will then pass the information on to the Police or relevant agency. You can remain anonymous.

Church-related concerns

Having done this, if you are on church property or if your concerns relate to something or someone connected to your church or church project, get in touch with your Parish Safeguarding Officer. There is usually a photo of your Parish Safeguarding Officer in your church building.
