Save the Date Invitation: Inaugural Stakeholders’ Working Group
You are invited to attend the first of four workshops to be held as part of an 18-month research project, funded by the independent charitable foundation Trust for London.
The aim of the project is to raise awareness of, and understand how to prevent, severe forms of employment exploitation and abuse, including modern slavery, through participatory research, advisory-capacity building and advocacy work with paid, live-in care workers and personal assistants from migrant communities in London.
This first workshop will provide a forum to engage with the project team, share your understanding of the risk and drivers of exploitation and ensure a robust, participatory, research design.
Later workshops (scheduled for September 2021; January and May 2022) will enable you to comment upon cross-community similarities and differences in the research findings; devise and disseminate appropriate worker progression, preventative action and advocacy strategies and to identify and validate priorities encapsulated within written and multi-media policy and advocacy materials.
