SOME PROJECT PARTNERSHIPS

 About the Project 

Migrant workers in the UK are more susceptible to workplace exploitation and less likely to report incidents due to concerns of losing their job or being subjected to further mistreatment. Our project, "Ending Workplace Exploitation for Migrants", is about tackling unfair treatment, promoting their rights and protecting their dignity. We work closely with community members, provide Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) support to employers, and advocate for systemic change to ensure a fair and inclusive work environment for all. 

 About the Advisory Panel 

We are looking to recruit an advisory panel of 10 people who are passionate individuals willing to inform our work through their lived experiences with exploitation, discrimination and barriers to employment in Wales. The Advisory Panel’s contribution will inform support to the community, influencing efforts for Welsh employers and policy-makers. The principles of engagement with the lived-experience advisory panel are centred around valuing members' contributions, respecting their expertise, and ensuring their voices are integrated into our organisational decision-making processes. We aim to foster an inclusive and collaborative environment that prioritises members' experiences, insights, and recommendations, ultimately leading to more effective and impactful outcomes in our work with migrants and refugees.
