This publication covers: steps the Government must take to ensure measures to address COVID-19 are compliant with human rights related to modern slavery; impacts of Government measures to address COVID-19 on modern slavery in the UK; groups disproportionately affected by Government measures to address COVID-19; and policy recommendations.
