“Back in Control” Project by ICOS is to identify instances of modern-day slavery and workplace exploitation in the Sunderland area and empower former victims to regain control of their lives. We also raise awareness of modern-day slavery and workplace exploitation among local organisations through seminars and outreach initiatives.
The project aims to:
- Identify victims of modern-day slavery and take appropriate steps to end exploitative situations.
- Individually support former victims of modern-day slavery, enabling them to become resilient and regain control of their lives.
- Provide former victims with improved access to employment opportunities.
- Improve the financial prospects for former victims.
- Provide local organisations with the tools and knowledge to recognise workplace exploitation and modern slavery.
- Recruit and train new volunteers.
