Three members of the ALSS Justice and Communities Research Unit (JACRU) attended the International Seminar on Human Trafficking hosted in Westminster on 14 May 2009. Andrew Gilbert, Rob Home and Colleen Moore spent the day engaging with academics, NGO representatives and parliamentarians from the UK and Europe.

The day was organised by the Home Affairs Select Committee and coincided with the launch of its report into human trafficking in the UK. Discussion topics included cross-border policing and developing a victim-centred approach to trafficking. The seminar was particularly timely as Colleen and Andrew are currently carrying out a trafficking research project funded by a Vice-Chancellor's Research Award.
