The first section focuses on consumer perceptions of modern slavery, the second on consumer accounts and justifications for (widespread) inaction in relation to modern slavery, and the third on questions of consumer trust and responsibility within a multi-stakeholder environment. For each section findings are combined with related prior academic research and suggestions for change are made. -
