What is Modern Slavery?

Modern Slavery is a term used to encapsulate both offences in the Modern Slavery Act: slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour; and human trafficking. Both have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
