Today on #AntiSlaveryDay, there are more than 40 million people in modern-day slavery worldwide and more than 100,000 in the UK alone. We believe every human being deserves liberty, dignity and a future of their own choosing.

Back into using twitter, so I thought I would share this article I wrote in last years - November issue of the OT news. OTNEWS

Interesting presentation from occupational therapist Kezia Eldridge on occupational therapy, human trafficking and modern day slavery

A couple who kept vulnerable people as slaves and made them work for free at a car wash business in Bristol have been jailed for a total of 25 years following an NCA investigation. Full story ➡️ nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/car-wash-…

Dear Jennifer Creek ,Thank you for the recently interview you completed with OT frontiers - on OT working in the margins. Would you consider connecting with me to discuss the role OT can be playing supporting survivors of human trafficking and modern day slavery? Kind Regards,Kezia

Through this documentary I have been able to address and learn more about what happened in my childhood and how I came to the UK. I'm really proud of it and hope you will tune into BBC at 9pm on Weds to watch.

Such an encouraging and inspiring day at the Occupational Therapy in diverse settings conference 🕺🏽 #UOBDIVOT22

Human trafficking and modern day slavery are occupational therapy’s business. Inspirational talk from Kezia Llewelyn (Edridge). Really keen on thinking about what we can do within OT health and justice services in the north east. #TheOTShow

Great to meet you yesterday Charlotte French OT and looking forward to joint work somehow!!

It was brilliant to have a full house at the talk with not a single spare seat! I think this demonstrates OTs interest in diversifying the profession and the potential future of OT in this critical setting. Promoting OT in diverse settings 💚 The OT Show Royal College of Occupational Therapists
