The Centre has introduced a new position of 'Internship Associate' which provides the opportunity for individuals to engage with research and project assistance for various elements of the Centre's work. This is a new position and thus we expect the roles and responsibilities attached to this position to develop with time. This is something we hope to be able to continue to offer as and when the need arises.

The campaign helped collect signatures for Anti-Slavery UK's petition in favour of the UK Goverment opting in to the new EU anti-trafficking directive.
