Ep. 125 | Andrew Wallis OBE

Today, Charles and Theo chat with a truly wonderful gentleman, Andrew Wallis OBE, who pushed the incredibly important Modern Slavery Act through Parliament. He is also the CEO of Unseen, a multi-award-winning anti-slavery charity working towards a world without slavery. In 2015 he was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for his role in combating Human Trafficking.In this show, you'll hear about what happens during a raid on suspected human traffickers and, most importantly, what happens to the VICTIMS after the police have gone.On a slightly lighter note, we hear about Andrew's background as a Yorkshireman, how he got started in all of this and answers in detail a question from Theo about what actually happens on the day you go to collect your OBE and what NOT to do (which he unfortunately witnessed). All this and, of course, lots, lots more.https://www.unseenuk.org/Twitter: @andyw1Unseen - 0303 040 2888Modern Slavery Helpline - 08000 121 700You can now get in touch with the show...podcast@vialucci.comwww.vialucci.com@vialuccimediaThis show is Part of the PodcastWorld.org networkAudio & Visual Production by Kerem Isik & David Kurzer
