On 4th July 2022, the \u2018Safeguarding & Modern Slavery\u2019 multiagency training was held at the University of Central Lancashire, Cyprus campus (UCLan Cyprus) in collaboration with the SBA Customs and Immigration, supported by the British High Commission Nicosia and the Research Centre for Migration and Diaspora and Exile (MIDEX) of the University of Central Lancashire. Two trainings were held in total, one targeted relevant public officials and the other targeted CSOs and other stakeholders working on anti-trafficking across the divide.

The trainings were delivered by three experts from the UK; Amanda Read (National Safeguarding and Modern Slavery Lead, Border Force<\/a>), Kate Goldstone (National Safeguarding and Modern Slavery Higher Officer, Border Force) and Helen Gordos (National Tactical Advisor, National Crime Agency). They were followed by a session presented by Dr. Nasia Hadjigeorgiou (Assistant Professor in Transitional Justice and Human Rights and Deputy Head, School of Law, UCLan Cyprus) and contributed to by Fezile Osum (Research Scholar, School of Law, UCLan Cyprus).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This session mainly covered the research findings from the School of Law\u2019s recent \u201cSmuggling and Trafficking Across the Green Line\u201d and \u201cProfiling of Human Trafficking Victims in Cyprus\u201d projects (visit the projects\u2019 website: https:\/\/htsproject.uclancyprus.ac.cy\/<\/a>). Both trainings ended with a Q&A session in the form of a roundtable chaired by Professor St\u00e9phanie Laulh\u00e9 Shaelou, Professor of European Law and Reform and Head of the School of Law, UCLan Cyprus, and Lead of the \u201cSmuggling and Trafficking Across the Green Line\u201d project, where the participants could discuss the challenges faced and possible steps forward for combating human trafficking in Cyprus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Hartley, ESBA OIC Customs and Immigration, Sovereign Base Areas Administration, stated:
\u201cModern Slavery and Human Trafficking is a global issue with Cyprus being like many other countries, a destination for sexual and labour exploitation.  Being able to bring together Government Agencies, subject experts and Academics amongst others, in one event provided a unique opportunity.  This would not have been possible without the support and hosting of the event by the University of Central Lancashire in Cyprus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
