Dear Roy,
More than 100 victims of modern slavery have been rescued in Cambridgeshire in a year.
British nationals made up the largest demographic, with 44 of the victims being children. Many of these were being exploited by county lines drug gangs.
These statistics, released for Anti-Slavery Day, show that modern slavery is happening right here in our county.
You could be walking by it every day without realising. Whether it’s at your local hand car wash, nail bar or takeaway – slavery can happen anywhere.
Today we’re asking you to familiarise yourself with the signs of slavery and report any concerns. If something doesn’t seem right, please tell us. Even if it seems insignificant.
Visit our website for more on the signs of slavery to look out for, or to report concerns.
Thank you for your support.
Kind regards,
