Readiness to Work as Prevention of Re-trafficking

Tuesday 16 September, 12.30pm (UK time)

Speakers include: The Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Lived Experience Peer Researcher & representatives from Sophie Hayes Foundation and Rights Lab - University of Nottingham. 

Event coordinated by the University of Nottingham and Sophie Hayes Foundation

Survivors of modern slavery often face socioeconomic challenges that increase their risk of being trafficked again. These include unstable housing, immigration insecurity, and, crucially, lack of access to employment to support themselves.

While employment is widely recognised for its psychological, social, and economic benefits - including improved mental health, confidence and connection with communities - there is little empirical research on how employability interventions specifically reduce the risk of re-trafficking.

In this webinar the research team will talk through how their project will be exploring these themes across a cohort within the Sophie Hayes Employability programme.
