NEW! Anti-Slavery Day Information Pack 2026
Join our campaign #SeeEveryWorker by using this information pack, which includes ideas and activities you can do in your organisation, suggested wording and much more.
Add your voice to our campaign by sharing the facts about modern slavery and worker exploitation.
Our theme for 2026 is ‘See Every Worker’.
This year we’re highlighting the signs of potential exploitation and seeing every worker, from those who work on the frontline to those supporting operations behind the scenes in every workplace.
Why do we recognise Anti-Slavery Week?
Modern slavery and labour exploitation are often hidden crimes, with those experiencing it unlikely to come forward, either from fear, or because of control from others and further repercussions.
With recent tightening of the legislative landscape, including the latest Transparency in Supply Chains guidance, the introduction of the Fair Work Agency and wider regulatory developments, businesses are facing an evolving scope of responsibility in tackling modern slavery and preventing exploitation.
This awareness week presents an opportunity for businesses to build awareness and capacity within their own organisation and recruitment chain to identify potential situations of exploitation and support workers, supporting responsible recruitment, and protecting those working in their operations and supply chains from exploitation.
Demonstrate your business’s commitment towards eradicating forced labour, supporting responsible recruitment and protecting those working in your operations and supply chains from labour exploitation.
About the awareness week:
18 October marks UK and European Anti-Slavery Day, part of Anti-Slavery Week, which this year runs between Monday 12 and Sunday 18 October 2026. In 2010, an Act of Parliament introduced a national day to raise awareness of the need to eradicate all forms of slavery, human trafficking and exploitation.
