Archbishop pays tribute to "outstanding leadership" of UK anti-slavery commissioner

Responding to the news that Kevin Hyland will be standing down from his role as the UK's first Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said: 

"As Kevin Hyland announces he is moving on from his role as the UK’s first Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, I want to pay tribute to the outstanding leadership he has shown in this role. Government, business, law enforcement, churches and other voluntary groups have been challenged and inspired to work together to make the UK a world leader in the urgent fight against modern slavery. He leaves a great legacy."
