Unseen UK have launched an app which provides a simple guide to recognising the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking and is a channel to report concerns in confidence.  

There is also a guide to types of modern slavery, an outline of key legislation, and an explanation of how to contact the Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline in 27 languages. This latter feature is useful for frontline professionals to communicate with people they suspect are victims of exploitation and who do not have good command of English.  

The app is on the phones of thousands of frontline professionals across the UK and is recommended by senior police officers and Anti-Slavery experts as an important tool in identifying and reporting human trafficking and modern slavery. 

It has been developed by Bath-based digital agency Storm. 

You can download the app:
