The Anti Trafficking and Labour Exploitation Unit (ATLEU) has issued a legal challenge against the Seasonal Worker Visa Scheme on the basis that it breaches Article 4 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). ATLEU argues that the government has not established practical and effective steps to protect workers from being subjected to modern slavery and forced labour exploitation. ATLEU seeks compensation for its client, AAW, and a declaration that the scheme breached AAW’s ECHR, Art 4 rights prohibiting slavery and forced labour. ATLEU states that AAW was charged with several thousand pounds worth of unlawful recruitment fees by agents of her employer to join the scheme, and faced illegal deductions of wages and labour exploitation upon arrival in the UK. It further argues that the farms that AAW had been placed on have been identified by NGO reports as being exploitative of migrant workers, and that steps have not been taken to ensure that the scheme operators and the farms are complying with the law. A call for evidence from workers who have shared a similar experience to AAW has been launched by ATLEU.

The Anti Trafficking and Labour Exploitation Unit (ATLEU) has published a report titled 'Untapping a Power: Why employing survivors matters,' authored by Professor Sundari Anitha from the University of Sheffield. The research, conducted with Voice of Domestic Workers, identifies systemic barriers preventing trafficking survivors from participating in policy development and sector employment, including denied work rights and delays in trafficking identification systems. The report recommends changes to law and policy to increase survivor representation in the anti-trafficking sector.
