The Human Trafficking Foundation (HTF) is dedicated to combating modern slavery and human trafficking by supporting and coordinating efforts among local authorities, NGOs, and other stakeholders. As part of our ongoing research, we are exploring the impact of employing specialist modern slavery coordinators within local authorities. We aim to demonstrate the economic impact of these roles by conducting a thorough cost-benefit analysis.
