We are delighted to speak to Christian Guy, Chief Executive of international anti-slavery NGO, Justice & Care Former Special Adviser to the Prime Minister in 10 Downing Street & Chief Executive at the Centre for Social Justice. Non-Executive Director & Trustee. Christian shares about tackling Modern Slavery here in the UK.
Recently a range of high-level recommendations made by Justice and Care’s CEO, Christian Guy, have been accepted by the UK Government in its response to the commissioned review of the Modern Slavery Act.
The Modern Slavery Act was introduced in 2015, making provisions for the role of the Anti-Slavery Commissioner, clarifying modern slavery offences and including a requirement for businesses to disclose action they are taking to eliminate slavery from their supply chains. Before joining Justice and Care, Christian was heavily involved in making the Act become a reality.
In 2018 the Government commissioned Rt Hon Frank Field MP, Rt Hon Maria Miller MP and Baroness Elizabeth Butler-Sloss to hold an Independent Review of the Modern Slavery Act, to strengthen and enhance the legislation as the crime of modern slavery and human trafficking is uncovered and better understood. Christian was appointed the International Expert Adviser for the Review – his findings and recommendations along with others were published in May 2019.
Fighting slavery and human trafficking have rightly been political priorities in recent years, but it is down to the new Prime Minister and all of us to ensure they remain so. We now have the opportunity to build on these reforms and launch an all-out assault on this horrific crime. We must continue to work to make sure that the UK is both a hostile place for those who wish to perpetrate these appalling crimes and a place of recovery and rehabilitation for victims. This is just the beginning” – Christian Guy, CEO, Justice and Care
