We are deeply saddened by the death of Professor Trevor Burnard. A world-leading historian, Trevor served as Director of the Wilberforce Institute from November 2019 to June 2024, while holding the Wilberforce Chair in Slavery.

Trevor was an immensely generous scholar, colleague and friend and he will be greatly missed by all those who had the privilege to work with him. Our thoughts are with his wife and his family, during this painful time.

Two days until ‘Modern Slavery and Labour Exploitation in UK Hotel Chains’

Join Dr Zahra Shirgholami to learn about how to reduce the risks of modern slavery and labour exploitation in UK hotel chains. Friday, 5 July 2 – 2.45 pm. Book now: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/modern-slavery-and-labour-exploitation-in-uk-hotel-chains-tickets-897243749207?aff=Facebook

UK's tourism and hospitality industries have high worker concentration, posing a challenge in managing risks of labour exploitation and modern slavery. Dr Zahra Shirgholami discusses these risks, including gaps in enforcement, normalisation and moralisation of exploitation, and potential threats from macro-level issues. She also highlights how these risks, with competitive labour markets, paradoxically could present new opportunities.

Our online training programme has been designed to help organisations meet the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act and EU Due Diligence laws. and examine issues of slavery and exploitation from a business perspective.

Provided free of charge, these bite-size one-hour training sessions build on the expertise of labour and human rights practitioners who have direct experience of conducting risk assessments and working alongside businesses, NGOs and trade unions to improve the living and working conditions of workers worldwide.
