This week Kat speaks with Amber Cagney, from the West-Midlands Anti-Slavery Network.

We discuss the Safe Place initiative, which is an early support programme for people in the initial stages of leaving exploitation. The project is already seeing some important evidence for the need for this type of support and the way this intervention should be delivered.

She also references the Human Trafficking Foundation Survivor Care Standards and the Places of Safety/Principles that underpin early support provision for survivors of trafficking.
