About The SlaveCheck Foundation

The ‘human intelligence’ side of the SlaveCheck solution relies upon civil society organisations — faith-based groups; industry bodies; umbrella and in-field NGOs; trade unions; research institutions - for their proven expertise in advocacy, investigation, remediation and monitoring of modern slavery, whether directly through human services and/or via their technologies and data that support – or have the potential to support – SlaveCheck’s common global mission, to systematically eliminate modern slavery.

Forms of civil society engagement may include:

• Paid in-field assignments or projects
• Retainers for ongoing services which are part of a slavery-elimination program
• Technology partnerships including free technical support for your technologies – strategy, design, build, integration, deployment, continuous improvement – if they can support the SlaveCheck mission
• A paid subscription for your data if it can add value to the SlaveCheck data model
• Support for your projects and programs - technology, advisory, collaboration management, project management
• Financial support for your projects and programs

SlaveCheck’s customers are large organisations who are either compelled to comply with any or all of the various anti-slavery legislation around the world, or who have large procurement programs which they voluntarily elect to SlaveCheck simply because it’s the right thing to do.

SlaveCheck offers a one-stop-shop to organisations who have a need to comply with anti-slavery legislation. What this means is that you can comply with any legislation globally using your digital Slavery Risk Profile (SRP) in the SlaveCheck platform.

To keep up with new requirements as governments enact anti-slavery legislation, SlaveCheck incorporates any new requirements into its SRP. With all 193 UN member countries having signed UNSDG8.7 to eliminate all forms of slavery by 2030, it would be ineffective and unsustainable to expect organisations to comply annually with 193 different sets of modern slavery compliance requirements.

Because we are all fighting a common enemy – modern slavery – SlaveCheck’s vision is that we should fight as a single army, with modern slavery compliance legislation converging to a harmonised global standard by 2030.

This program is about leading, facilitating and coordinating this common objective.

The rich G20 countries consume over 80% of slave made goods, even though research conducted by SlaveCheck indicates consumers are outraged about the thought of purchasing slave-made goods.

How could this disconnect occur? The logical conclusion is that consumers simply don’t know about modern slavery. Why is there not global outrage that behind the seafood we import, 66 Titanic's of people (+100,000) die at sea each year? There are dozens of situations like this behind the products we consume – out of sight, out of mind.

Could there be any more important job for the media than alerting the world to 49million people – mostly women and children – trapped in a daily hell that few will ever leave? And growing at over 5,000 every day?

This program is about combining financial resources with the best available modern slavery data, information and intel to craft powerful narratives, leverage platforms effectively, and mobilise diverse audiences including:

• Documentary and film projects
• Investigative journalism
• Social media campaigns
• Collaborating with influencers and celebrities
• Government and corporate partnerships for ethical initiatives and programs
• Global awareness events, programs, competitions

Slave traders are currently winning the war on modern slavery. Global data provided by Governments to the US Department of State for 2022 reveal worryingly low rates of victim identification (115,324 victims out of 49.6 million = 0.0023%) and worryingly high rates of criminal impunity (15,159 prosecutions and 5,777 convictions = 99.97%) making modern slavery the perfect crime.

It will not be easy to shift these metrics by virtue of entrenched system-level characteristics of the modern slavery problem that have combined to produce the current status quo, including:

• Highly sophisticated criminal networks running the slavery industry
• Global supply chains that are highly sophisticated yet lack transparency or product traceability, providing criminals with operational anonymity, flexibility and mobility;
• Under-resourced or non-existent specialist in-country law enforcement
• Limited or no actionable slavery data due to poor or non-existent engagement of / collaboration with in-field civil society operatives and a lack of interoperability between global data silos.

This program is about the SlaveCheck ecosystem supporting the global law enforcement community to improve these metrics including:

• Supporting in-field civil society operatives with mobile and desktop technologies to facilitate centralised coordination of slavery incident reports
• Providing interoperability between global data silos
• Applying AI to identify trends and triangulate victim identification using supply chain transparency and traceability data, in-field human intelligence and over 100 different sources of non-supply chain data
• Law enforcement-guided Collective Intelligence campaigns across the SlaveCheck ecosystem to progressively develop solutions to problems and challenges as they arise.

This program is a multi-faceted approach to supporting governments globally in enacting effective anti-slavery legislation, improving policy frameworks, coordinating enforcement, raising in-country awareness, and driving systemic change. The critical components of the program include:

• A dedicated, multi-faceted expert Liaison Team
• Legislative and Policy Alignment
• Interagency Coordination
• Public-Private Partnerships
• Data and Technology Integration
• Integrated In-Country Victim Response Plans
• Awareness and Education targeting businesses, frontline workers, and the general public
• Suitably resourced and trained law enforcement, border agents, and judiciary staff
• Monitoring and Accountability Governance
• Sustainable Funding
• International alignment and Cooperation between ILO, UNODC, and Interpol
