It is estimated that there are at least 100,000 victims of modern slavery and human trafficking in the UK (CSJ, It Still Happens Here, 2020). Unseen?s vision is a world without slavery. We operate the Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline, a confidential and independent service that provides support, advice, and guidance to victims across the UK. It operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and since its launch in 2016, has received over 27,000 contacts, indicating more than 20,000 potential victims. These are men, women and children who were previously unknown to the system and are now being supported to freedom.
As well as being a vital resource for victims, the Helpline has become the central hub for information on modern slavery in the UK. Each call that we receive offers unique insights into the crime. For example, a location of exploitation or key transport hub. When collated and shared, this data provides powerful evidence that can be used to disrupt and prevent modern slavery. Ultimately this will lead to more victims escaping the grasps of exploitation and accessing a safe and secure place to call home.
However, we are currently facing two important technical challenges that are preventing us from fully realising the potential of Helpline data.
1. The raw data from the Helpline is very sensitive and incredibly difficult to anonymise. This limits our ability to share it with key collaborators in the sector.
2. Much of the data we collect is in an unstructured format. Human involvement is therefore required to identify key themes and trends in the data, meaning that important learnings are likely being missed.
With your support, we would like to:
1. Create a Secure Data Analysis Environment where Helpline data can be securely stored and accessed by our partners.
2. Create a synthetic data set (a sophisticated technical approach for anonymising data), so that we can share records without the risk of divulging sensitive information.
3. Develop tools to identify case clusters, themes, and patterns within our unstructured data.
