Modern slavery is an illicit trade in which human beings are turned into commodities to be bought, sold and exploited for vast profits. No one agency can tackle this crime in isolation and the ASP provides the mechanism for agencies to work collaboratively to identify victims and prosecute perpetrators. It is a model that combines both statutory and non-statutory partners ensuring we identify local needs as well as the regional and national implications of this crime."
