Show Notes
In today’s episode, Anna is joined by The Clewer Initiative director Lois Bosatta to explore the reality of modern slavery and exploitation in communities across the UK. Together they identify what exploitation can look like, the warning signs parents and carers should be aware of and how we can have age-appropriate conversations with children and teenagers about trust, vulnerability and staying safe.
Trigger warning: this episode is focused on modern slavery but there is no in-depth detail included.
