There will be a new website to help tackle modern slavery in Hertfordshire.

The Hertfordshire Modern Slavery Partnership (HMSP) will launch a new website on May, 13, to help tackle modern slavery in the county.

The new site, www.stopexploitationherts.org.uk, will provide a one stop shop for information and advice for residents, businesses and professionals who may encounter those at risk of exploitation.

Mark Harvey, Operations Director for Adult Disabilities and Mental Health Services at Hertfordshire County Council and chair of the Hertfordshire Modern Slavery Partnership, said: “The new website builds on the work the partnership has been doing over the last two years in the county and will help raise awareness of human trafficking and modern slavery in the wider community.”
