In addition, some of our guest workers may live and work in the grey area that can slide over into enslavement. Withholding passports, the application of force and coercion, including sexual assault, all point to cases meeting the criteria of slavery. But with minimal training and with little legislation in the area, cases are rarely recognised as such. And, of course, there is the slavery far away that reaches Guernsey through the things we buy, eat, and wear. Electronics, clothing, foodstuffs, and many other goods are produced by slavery and need our attention and action to reduce demand for these tainted products.
The situation is far from grim, however, our close-knit community, our lack of corruption and solid law enforcement, means that with some attention and action we will be able to say with certainty that slavery does not happen on the island. Come along to increase your understanding of what slavery is, and what it may look like in this small community, how the island can tackle the issue and what we can all do to combat slavery worldwide.
The workshop will take the form of a case-study and discussion led by Kevin Bales, Professor of Contemporary Slavery at the University of Nottingham, with contributions from Adrian Hale, head of AML/CFT Policy and Compliance for the Financial Intelligence Service and who has 29 years service at Guernsey Border Agency.

A whistle stop tour of sexuality, sex and gender identity: Every single person on the planet has a sexuality and a gender identity but only some people are discriminated against because of theirs. We’ll cover the LGB, as well as the T, we’ll even touch on the S and C, and we guarantee that you hold at least one of these identities – come and find out which one.
