About Us
ATLEU is young charity providing legal representation to victims of trafficking and labour exploitation. We assist victims to obtain safety, recovery and redress.
Benefit
Survivors obtain compensation, vindication and empowerment by seeking formal redress from their employers and traffickers in the employment tribunal and county court. Regulating survivors’ immigration status breaks cycles of exploitation; securing housing, treatment, financial and social support promotes survivors’ physical and psychological recovery.
Service
ATLEU delivers a comprehensive and dedicated service to survivors helping them find legal solutions to their complex problems. This includes advising survivors on their immigration status and helping them to apply for asylum or other forms of lawful residence; securing appropriate and safe accommodation, financial support and treatment from local authorities, the Home Office or other statutory bodies; and obtaining compensation from their traffickers or the state.
Approach
We aim to develop jurisprudence to enhance survivors' rights. We adopt a strategic approach to litigation identifying test cases to further develop the legal protections for survivors and hold public authorities to account, including the police, border agency, Criminal Injuries compensation Authority and social services.
