'...they've designed a visa scheme that's about trying to control and not trust migrants. But after years of concern, new government rules still haven't stopped workers from being mistreated.'

ATLEU has a legal aid contract, meaning we offer free legal help to people who are eligible for legal aid. But what exactly is legal aid, and how do you know if you’re eligible?

We are calling on the government to end the use of #TiedVisas. These visas tie workers to specific employers, putting them at serious risk of exploitation and preventing them from fully exercising their employment rights. Read our report today: www.atleu.org.uk/cases-news/u...

#RightToWork is crucial for survivors’ recovery, giving freedom, independence, and a chance to heal. The Home Office must speed up immigration and asylum processes so trafficking survivors aren’t left in limbo. Full report: www.atleu.org.uk/cases-news/u....

For survivors of trafficking and modern slavery, compensation is far more than a financial payment; it's about restoring dignity, autonomy, and justice, and a chance to rebuild their lives.

The Home Office's own guidance recognises that survivors of #ModernSlavery often delay disclosing their experiences, yet policies still penalise them for doing so. Instead of treating this as a suspicion, the government should focus on protection, not punishment and hostility.

Last month, we released our #UntappingThePower report, which highlights the importance of employing survivors in the anti-trafficking and advice sectors. Organisations must improve the opportunities for survivors in the workplace. Read the report here: www.atleu.org.uk/cases-news/u...
