• Scottish recruitment agency Brightwork has joined forces with a number of other anti-trafficking organisations to bring a production about the tragedy of modern slavery to Glasgow in October.

The event features My Mind Is Free by Sam Hall, an hour-long play that tells the interlinked stories of four people trafficked to and within the UK, and their tales of abuse, exploitation and enslavement. It will then be followed by a 90-minute workshop on how to spot the signs of trafficking and what can be done by both individuals and companies to combat it.

The Glasgow event is open to the public, and will be particularly useful for those working with vulnerable adults and children. It takes place on 22 October at The Salvation Army Glasgow City Centre Corps. The production has been put together by the charity Rah Rah Community Theatre Company. The UK tour and information events have been organised in conjunction with the anti-trafficking charity Migrant Help and The Salvation Army.
