Justice and Care

What Justice and Care does

Justice and Care is a UK-registered charity founded in 2008 that combats modern slavery and human trafficking across four operating countries: the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, Romania, and the United States. The organization structures its work around four strategic pillars: Restore (survivor recovery, rehabilitation, and aftercare), Pursue (supporting police investigations and prosecutions of traffickers), Protect (training frontline professionals and educating vulnerable communities), and Change (policy advocacy and legislative reform). Its flagship intervention is the Victim Navigator Programme, which embeds specialist staff within police forces to bridge the gap between trafficking victims and the criminal justice system; in evaluated deployments the model has driven survivor engagement with police investigations above 92%, compared to an industry baseline of approximately 40%. The organization does not develop proprietary technology products; its delivery model is built on human specialist services, embedded partnerships with law enforcement (Surrey Police, Kent Police, Police Scotland), border security agencies (Border Guards Bangladesh), and government ministries, supplemented by coalition advocacy with peer charities.

The business model is a non-profit charitable funding model. Justice and Care derives all revenue from individual donations (including the Freedom Network monthly giving programme), philanthropic and institutional grants, corporate partnerships, trust and foundation funding, and government grants (including Scottish Government funding for the Scotland Victim Navigator Programme). The organization sells no products or services; pricing is not applicable. Reported outcome metrics from the most recent annual period include 129 survivors freed, 450 prosecutions supported, 4,106 frontline professionals trained, and 1,782 vulnerable people educated. Additional programmes include the Safe Village Programme (community prevention), the Small Business Initiative (economic empowerment for survivors and families), the Prosecutors Consortium (with the McCain Institute), and the National Matching Service (employment placement with Bright Future Co-operative). The organization explicitly prioritizes innovative ground-level impact over scale and does not target becoming a large high-turnover charity.

Operational leadership rests with Chief Executive Christian Guy (previously appointed International Expert Adviser to the UK Government review of the Modern Slavery Act), Chair of Trustees James Thomas, Country Director Tariqul Islam (Bangladesh; 2022 US State Department Global Hero), and Director of European Operations Cristina Huddleston. Geographic expansion from the original India/Bangladesh base into the UK occurred in 2018, followed by Romania and the United States. The organization is registered as a charity in England and Wales (1133829) and Scotland (SC042389), with its registered office in London. Strategic risks include donor concentration, exposure to UK modern slavery legislative cycles, and the inherent operational complexity of cross-border anti-trafficking work in restrictive regulatory environments.
