This is a multi-disciplinary response model, combining specialised services (social work, probation, the NHS, licensed gangmasters, community safety, immigration, etc) with local partners such as charities and the Salvation Army.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Modern day slavery includes trafficking for sexual \/ labour exploitation, domestic servitude and cannabis cultivation. Industries where workers are enslaved include agriculture, food processing and construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u2018Challenger\u2019 offers a wider approach than traditional crime-focussed policing. Long before it reaches police attention modern slavery in the community is, for example, likely to be an issue for health and education specialists. (It is estimated that every fourth victim is a child.) Therefore information-sharing via a response network fosters a collective understanding of criminal developments. It offers opportunities to protect the vulnerable and to safeguard those at risk of becoming victims of organised crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Local Soroptimists are developing <a title=\"link to soroptimists at modern day slavery summit\" href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/2015\/10\/21\/modern-day-slavery-summit\/\">links<\/a> with \u2018Challenger\u2019, notably in relation to\u00a0modern slavery\u00a0and human trafficking by, for example, being\u00a0included in the community forum for non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Public support, through reports of suspicions and observations, is vital in piecing together a full picture of criminal activity. If more police services develop networks involving NGOs, other local Soroptimist clubs could get involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Yvonne Gibbon<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">, SI South Lancashire\u2019s new Programme Action Officer, was delighted with members\u2019 reaction to the morning\u2019s presentation. \u201cTrafficking and modern day slavery are key issues for Soroptimists.
