GLAA investigator opens up about modern slavery

A modern slavery investigator has discussed the realities of the issue in Britain today, as the world marks Anti-Slavery Day.

Charlotte has provided an insight into her role as an investigating officer with the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA).

In a video interview, she talks about her experiences as an investigator - what modern slavery is, who is affected, how and why offenders exploit their victims, and what the public can do to help.

The interview has been released on Anti-Slavery Day (18th October), a world-wide event which aims to raise awareness of human trafficking and modern slavery, encouraging government, local authorities, companies, charities and people to do what they can to address the problem.
