Conference in Oxford tackles human trafficking
Agencies in Oxford are joining forces in a conference to tackle the problem of human trafficking in the city.
It comes after seven men were jailed last month for a string of offences linked to a sex grooming ring in Oxford.
Speakers include Thames Valley Police, the Bishop of Oxford and Catherine Bearder, MEP for South East England.
The day-long conference has been organised by Oxford Community Against Trafficking (OXCAT).
Following the conclusion of the four-month trial, Thames Valley Police and Oxfordshire County Council were criticised for not acting earlier to stop the abuse.
Andy Dipper, from OXCAT said: "Lessons need to be learnt and quickly.
"We want to make sure other victims understand we will listen, and we will believe them."
