""Rarely can the talent of so many practitioners be accessed in one convenient resource."" Crimeline

Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Law and Practice, Second Edition provides guidance to those who deal directly or indirectly with those affected by modern slavery and trafficking, employ or manage a workforce, or have oversight of supply chains.

It enables practitioners to deal with issues of law and procedure by providing an accessible, but comprehensive, summary of the points that need to be considered in order to plan a coherent litigation or compliance strategy.

This Second Edition focuses on areas which have become of critical importance such as: - The modern slavery defence - Corporate accountability and modern slavery compliance statements - National Referral Mechanism for victims - How to identify victims of trafficking and modern slavery - How to elicit key information from victims of trafficking and modern slavery - Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings - The EU Anti-trafficking Directive

This highly accessible guide draws on the expertise and experience of professionals in different disciplines, so that practitioners can receive guidance for their own practice and an understanding of the inter-relationship with other practice areas.

Criminal, immigration, commercial and civil lawyers will find this an essential guide. It is also important for businesses when undertaking human rights due diligence assessments, as well as for those who work in law enforcement, the judiciary and academia.

This title is included Bloomsbury Professional's Immigration and Nationality Law online service."

Reviews for Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Law and Practice

Rarely can the talent of so many practitioners be accessed in one convenient resource. -- Andrew Keogh * Crimeline * Anyone investing in this book can feel confident they will not only be able to handle their problems but will have the skills and knowledge to ensure a just outcome. * The London Advocate (review of first edition) * Recommended by The Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Dame Sara Thornton, in her 2020 report on “The Modern Slavery Act 2015 Statutory Defence: A call for evidence” * https://www.antislaverycommissioner.co.uk/media/1478/the-modern-slavery-act-2015-statutory-defence-call-for-evidence.pdf * This book provides a detailed and practical guide to the legal regimes. The guidance is not confined to the courtroom. It realistically encompasses matters outside of a court hearing, relating to victims and those charged with a criminal offence. It is guidance which can properly form the basis of advice to be given by practitioners. It is necessary and welcome. * The Rt Hon Lady Justice Nicola Davies DBE, in her Foreword to the Second Edition *
