Unseen UK

Unseen is a UK charity providing safehouses and support in the community for survivors of trafficking and modern slavery and operate the 24/7 UK wide Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline. We also work with individuals, communities, business, governments, other charities and statutory agencies to end slavery for good.

Unseen's Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline reached its five year anniversary in 2021 and is moving from strength to strength. The Helpline provides a safe, free, confidential, 24-hour, multi-lingual contact point for victims to access services, offers technical assistance to a wide range of professionals, and supports members of the community and the public to report suspected incidents of modern slavery. The helpline also acts as a central data hub and resource centre for stakeholders in the anti-slavery field to access data, training, tools, and good practice.
