In Wales there are organisations that can provide specialist support if you are a survivor of slavery.
Care Pathways and Bawso provide support to those aged 18 and over whilst Barnardos provide support of you are under 18 years of age.
Providing you with the right care, at the right time, for you
A ‘Care Pathway’ is in place for anyone who is suspected of being a survivor of slavery in Wales. The Pathway ensures the right support is provided to you, depending on your needs. This includes health services, those provided by local authorities and specialist services as required.
In Wales, the main specialist services are:
Bawso - Diogel Project
Bawso support workers work with survivors to create individual support plans, which can include financial help, support accessing health services and treatment, specialist counselling, criminal and immigration-related legal advice, education and employment opportunities and other support as needed.
Bawso provide accommodation for men and women as part of their support. They can also work on an outreach basis with those who do not require accommodation.
If you need help you can contact an Advice Worker on 029 20644633 or 0800 7318147.
New Pathways - Liberate Project
The Liberate workers will provide survivors with psychological support, practical advocacy and support to escape exploitive situations. They will also liaise with police and other agencies through outreach.
If you require support call 01633 250205 and ask to speak to a human trafficking worker.
Barnardo’s
Barnardo’s provides support for children ( those under 18 years of age) who have been subject to slavery. A child survivor will be given a support worker who is trained and understands that child victims of trafficking are particularly vulnerable and need support specific to their needs.
If you are under 18, a survivor of slavery and need help then call the Modern Slavery Helpline on 0800 0121700.
