Welcome to Devolved Digest, a series that will delve into the nuances in policy across the devolved regions of the United Kingdom.
This edition of the Devolved Digest explores modern slavery initiatives within the devolved administrations in the United Kingdom, assessing how Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are addressing this pressing issue within their own legislative frameworks and policy approaches. Given that devolution grants each nation a degree of autonomy over justice, social policy, and law enforcement, this analysis will explore how each administration tailors its anti-slavery strategies, collaborates with UK-wide initiatives, and works to prevent exploitation within its jurisdiction.
By incorporating a comparative analysis of modern slavery legislation, enforcement mechanisms, and victim support services across the UK’s devolved nations, this research aims to highlight existing challenges and opportunities for stronger national and regional responses to modern slavery.
