This report discusses the key findings from the outreach and information campaign we delivered
between April 2014 and December 2016. In developing the report, we used data we
have gathered during outreach events and other activities.
The main aims of the information campaign targeting Eastern European (EE) migrants in London,
which was funded by Trust for London were to:
+ raise awareness of employment rights among the Eastern European community,
+ provide information about various sources of reliable advice and support for people
experiencing issues at work,
+ reduce the exploitation experienced by the EE community.
+ 620 individuals received individual support
+ 325 individuals attended employment law workshops
+ more than 1200 individuals reached through outreach activities
We talk about general problems that workers meet in the UK, such as low pay, National Minimum wage not being respected, and also some really specific problems that eastern Europeans encounter, such as modern slavery within the community, lack of knowledge of rights, vulnerability and so on.
