Episode 12: Mythbusting in Modern Slavery

In this podcast we talk to Andrew Wallis OBE about the myths surrounding modern slavery. Andrew is CEO of the charity Unseen which also runs the Modern Slavery Helpline. Earlier this year Themis commissioned research of the financial sector which found that nearly 40% of financial services professionals don't believe modern slavery existas in the UK. Andew explains why this impression is misguided and the many forms in which firms are likely to encounter modern slavery. This Podcast is brought to you as part of a key industry-wide research project commissioned by the UK Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner and delivered in partnership with Tribe Freedom Foundation and Themis. It is one of a series of focus groups and round-tables we will be releasing that address Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking and the Financial Sector.
