The Anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group (the ATMG) is a coalition of organisations formed in 2009 to monitor the implementation of anti-slavery laws and policies by the UK Government. It places a particular focus on the protection of survivors of modern slavery. 

Member organisations include those who directly support vulnerable people affected by slavery, including trafficked children, men and women, across the UK, and those trapped in specific forms of exploitation such as forced labour, sexual exploitation or domestic slavery. 

The ATMG has two aims: 

• To tackle the various forms of trafficking and work strategically to ensure the voices of individuals affected by slavery are heard and advocated for.

• To monitor the implementation of anti-slavery laws and policies by the UK Government, including the Government’s implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, and the subsequent EU Directive on tackling trafficking. It seeks to achieve these aims by ensuring that: 

• All identified cases of trafficking are comprehensively dealt with by the authorities; 

• Survivors are provided with adequate care and support to recover from their experiences, including legal representation;

• Perpetrators of modern slavery are effectively prosecuted, and; 

• Comprehensive policies are in place to prevent modern slavery practices and to facilitate the prosecution of perpetrators and support of survivors. 

The diversity of the ATMG’s membership has been a significant strength of the coalition. Thanks to the expertise of the coalition’s membership the group has been able and undertake research and advocacy on a large range of slavery-related issues.
