But a 2024 review of the legislation by the Modern Slavery Act 2015 Committee concluded that developments since, worldwide and in the UK, have led to the UK falling behind internationally. The number of people identified as victims of modern slavery has been rising year on year, with over 19,000 people referred to the authorities in 2024.Andrew Wallis is CEO of Unseen and chaired the landmark Centre for Social Justice report It Happens Here, widely acknowledged as a catalyst for the 2015 Act. He joins us to discuss the current landscape of modern slavery in the UK. He will explore what has changed over the past decade, where the gaps are, and how the UK can strengthen its approach once again.Speaker biography: Andrew Wallis OBE is the founding CEO of Unseen.
