Prevention of human trafficking and exploitation is a national and global goal as it is crucial to prevent harm and exploitation to people before it occurs, and to reduce harm聽once it has happened. There are many factors which may make individuals more vulnerable to modern slavery and exploitation, from poverty, lack of opportunities to provide for their families, immigration status and displacement, to discrimination based on factors such as gender, ethnic background, age or disability.

However, prevention is a complex, and relatively underdeveloped aspect of the response to modern slavery, with limited evidence of what effective prevention means in principle and practice.

A collaboration between聽University College London's Everyday Disasters and Violences Research Group听补苍诲听聽is one of six new聽projects investigating these issues聽to be funded by Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre (Modern Slavery PEC), which in turn is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

The project, co-led by , will in Home Office operated hotels.

The study will involve interviews with unaccompanied asylum-seeking and refugee children and young people aged 16-25 about their trafficking experiences and observations, and with support workers and experts. The research team will aim to align the findings from the interviews with current law聽and policies, particularly in the context of the Illegal Migration Act, and offer recommendations on how to improve prevention, early intervention, and safeguarding around unaccompanied children.

Dr Ayeb-Karlsson聽said:聽鈥淭his is a timely research area that needs urgent attention with the Illegal Migration Act and the recent High Court ruling that deemed the Home Office-practise of hotels to house unaccompanied refugee children unlawful. As of July 2023, 154 children were still missing after almost three years. Some of the missing children were as young as 12 years old at the time of disappearance. We must do better as a society to protect and safeguard these vulnerable children.鈥�
