Lancashire family rescued by police on snow hit Snake Pass after travelling to walk in the Peak District | Two arrested after spate of acid attacks in Lancashire

Feb 15, 2021

Good afternoon,

It's Monday once more but today we are bringing you something a little special.

After many months of works our JPI Media Investigations team - has launched their new project 'An unbroken chain: Modern slavery in the UK.'

If right now you are thinking this doesn't impact you, you can think again, as within communities here in Lancashire perpetrators are dodging convictions and victims suffering due to systematic failing by the criminal justice system.

This includes vulnerable children swept up by county lines drugs gangs and sexual exploitation of trafficked women. This is an important piece of work and we are very proud of the team of talented reporters that have produced it.

Meanwhile, for all the latest breaking news, please check out lep.co.uk

Have a happy Monday,

Kind regards, Nicola
