Ongoing - BASNET UK BME Anti-Slavery Network (BASNET) conference on the safety and wellbeing of survivors of modern slavery in UK Government funded safe houses

UK BME Anti-Slavery Network (BASNET) 5th anniversary on well being of survivors of trafficking . We need more training with organisations so that they know how to deal with victims of Human trafficking says a survivor. #HumanTrafficking

“We are all survivors of modern slavery so why do some people get better support and care than others” #basnetconference2024

“One size does not fit all. Most people in safe houses do not reach their potential because they are not provided with the right support - you are protected from the outside but not the inside” #basnetconference2024

“We need a whole system approach to change the NRM system which is very complex. Survivors might not understand how things work and it’s hard for their voices to be heard”. #basnetconference2024

“There is no national response to modern slavery. The service you get as a victim depends on what part of the country you’re based and whose is providing the service. This has to change” #basnetconference2024

“Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking is conflated with organised crime but there are many other forms of exploitation taking place” #basnetconference2024

“The NRM victim care contract must mandate contractors to include co-production with culturally knowledgeable BME organisations in service contracts and delivery. This is to ensure inclusion and that services meet cultural and diverse needs of survivors” #basnetconference2024

Institutional racism is why you don’t hear voices of marginalised communities in the policy making space. Ministers like Yvette Cooper Bridget Phillipson Jess Phillips should always question officials why no diverse voices at meetings. It’s due to racism. thirdsector.co.uk/institutional-…

We welcome the aim to increase #LegalAid fees for housing and immigration work. Many #survivors of slavery cannot access a lawyer. We hope the government can also invest in other areas of legal aid and other changes needed for a sustainable advice sector. lawgazette.co.uk/news/civil-leg…
