Forced labour became a criminal offence via the 2009 Coroners and Justice Act (Section 71) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the 2010 Criminal Justice and Licensing Act (Section 47) in Scotland. For at least the past two decades there has been considerable concern at a policy level that the UK food industry harbours significant levels of exploitation that in its extreme may constitute forced labour. Using in-depth interview evidence from 62 exploited migrant workers across five study sites (south Lincolnshire and the Wash area, east-central Scotland (encompassing Dundee, Angus, Fife, and Perth and Kinross), Bristol and the south-west of England, London and Liverpool), forced labour is identified as an issue. Analysis is four-staged and focuses on forced labour indicators (Chapter 2), forced labour contexts (Chapter 3), forced labour practices (Chapter 4), and forced labour outcomes (Chapter 5). For the purposes of the study three areas of the food industry are examined: agriculture, food processing and minority ethnic catering. Details: York, UK: Joseph Rountree Foundations, 2012. 91p.
