Campaign Targets Modern Day Slavery In UK
Border control checks are stepped up across the UK as the number of potential victims of trafficking increases dramatically.
The Government has launched a campaign to raise awareness of the growing problem of modern day slavery in Britain.
Last year 1,746 potential victims of trafficking were identified in the UK, a 47% increase on the figure for 2012.
As part of the campaign, a TV advert shows actors in the kind of squalid conditions that victims are forced to live in.
Checks at airports have also been stepped up with border force officers trained to identify passengers who could be being brought into the country to be treated as slaves.
