Child modern slavery persists as a significant concern in the United Kingdom, exerting far-reaching implications on both children and the broader society. It represents a grave infringement on the fundamental human rights of children, stripping them of their entitlement to live without exploitation, abuse, and forced labor.

The rights of child victims are frequently disregarded, hindering their ability to flourish and mature in a secure and supportive environment. The repercussions of child modern slavery transcend into adulthood, affecting the development, mental well-being, self-esteem, and overall welfare of young individuals.

This research undertakes a thorough examination of initiatives aimed at enhancing the prevention and early detection of children who are either victims of modern slavery or at risk of falling into its clutches in the United Kingdom, spanning the period from 2015 to 2023.
