Description

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.

We are seeking a dedicated research volunteer to assist in devising and conducting a cost-benefit analysis of specialist modern slavery coordinators. This analysis will provide crucial quantitative data to complement our existing research, helping to validate the effectiveness and economic value of these positions. This task will require the volunteer to think creatively and with initiative. 

Duties
  • Collaborate with the Human Trafficking Foundation to define the parameters and scope of the cost-benefit analysis.
  • Identify and gather relevant data, with support from the Foundation, to ensure the analysis is comprehensive and accurate.
  • Think creatively to jointly set parameter of the analysis, gather data and undertake the research. 
  • Perform the cost-benefit analysis, including calculating potential economic benefits and costs associated with employing specialist modern slavery coordinators.
  • Interpret the results of the analysis and contribute to a report summarizing the findings, which will be used to inform policy and advocacy efforts.
  • Consider costing models for different types of local authorities
