The Government is committed to appointing a new Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner to carry on this vital work. A recruitment campaign was launched in June 2018 and extended over the summer to allow time to attract the strongest possible field of candidates. The recruitment process is nearing completion and we expect to announce a new appointment shortly.
