Our impact
Understanding the impact we make and interventions that work and those that don’t is really important to us – it is core to our approach of using our frontline experience to spark change at scale.
In everything we do, we therefore seek to be clear, honest and accountable. Our impact reporting is rigorous and robust – and purposely so, because it matters. We interrogate our data, use independent evaluations to validate our achievements and share openly what worked and what didn’t, seeking to constantly improve.
These figures speak for themselves – they are just a small sample of the things we measure to be able to understand the impact we are making:
We measure the number of victims rescued where our teams supported the police or rescuing authority with intelligence, tactical advice, or direct assistance during the intervention.
We count the number of individual victims who have had multiple instances of specialist support from our teams.
We help survivors return home. We count the number of victims of modern slavery safely repatriated under the oversight and assistance of our teams.
This is the number of perpetrators convicted for any offence related to the exploitation of a victim, where our teams provided support to the victim and/or prosecutor in relation to the legal process.
This relates to the number of law enforcement or other professionals interacting directly with victims in their professional practice, trained in victim identification or victim care by our teams.
This relates to the number of specifically vulnerable people reached, through our work, with targeted prevention awareness training or more holistic direct support. We don’t include those reached through media awareness programmes.
Our approach to impact measurement
- We produce high quality data – that is rich, accurate, audited, timely, secure and analysed
- We focus on outcomes, not just activity. For example, we focus on measuring survivor recovery, so we can be sure that what we are doing improves people’s lives in the long term.
- We know how important transparency and accountability are and use evaluations by independent experts, and communicate our impact with honesty
- We use data to help us adapt programmes, making sure our interventions are effective
- We believe survivor-centric and ethical approaches are crucial, and empower survivors to shape, not just be the subject of, our research
- We leverage learning for systemic change – producing and sharing blueprints that move the sector forward globally
