Reporting concerns about modern slavery
The community safety team recognises the need to identify and prevent all forms of modern slavery in Slough. At present the scale of modern slavery in Slough is not known, due to the nature of these offences. However, we are working with partners and agencies and have formed a multi-agency group to help develop this picture and increase our understanding of, and response to, this hidden crime in Slough.
We are reporting progress to the Safer Slough Partnership so all agencies are ready and able to identify and support victims of this crime. Efforts are being made to identify perpetrators of these offences with Thames Valley Police and other enforcement agencies, with the aim of bringing these people and organised crime groups/gangs to justice.
Safer Slough Partnership, in conjunction with The Willow Project, has produced a reporting pathway for concerns: Safer Slough Partnership - modern slavery reporting guidelines.
