Victims of modern slavery are amongst the most vulnerable people in society. They face additional risks due to the COVID-19 outbreak, as a result of isolation, economic instability, and reduced access to support services.

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.
