Bedford Soroptimists hold Conference

Congratulations to SI Bedford who held an Anti Slavery Conference on 16th October at Moggerhanger Park in Bedfordshire to coincide with Anti Slavery Day. This conference was aimed at a variety of first responders and others who may come into contact with people who have been trafficked and may be enslaved. The conference was hosted by BAMS (Bedfordshire Against Modern Slavery) but with Bedfordshire Police and SI Bedford recognised and credited as BAMS. This conference was possible by a successful bid to the Police Partnership Board.
Speakers included:
Kevin Hyland, Independent Anti Slavery Commissioner.
Diane Payne, Programme Development Manager for The Salvation Army.
Paul Connop, Tactical Advisor for The National Crime Agency.
Tatiana Jardan, Human Trafficking Foundation.
Andrew Selous MP
