Much of what we've discussed in previous episodes isn't easy to understand unless there's a real life case study to relate to.

For this episode we hear from Raitis who moved to the UK from his native Latvia in 2011. He worked in a number of jobs including fruit picking and construction. Here we find out what happened when someone offered him a job at a roofing company just before Christmas one year.

Understanding how to spot the signs of labour exploitation is crucial. But equally important is knowing how to report your concerns and the information that the GLAA and partners are looking for when you make that call.
