Anti Slavery Initiative Oxford (ASIOX)

Who we are

We stand together with our partners and community against the brutal injustices of modern slavery and exploitation. Based in Oxfordshire, we are uniquely placed to offer bespoke support to survivors across the county and the wider Thames Valley. 

Through Project HOPE we provide tailored advice and practical support to adult survivors or persons at risk of modern slavery or exploitation living in Oxfordshire and across the Thames Valley, both from our trained staff and our volunteer befrienders.  

We also raise awareness of this issue and equip local organisations in identifying modern slavery and where to look for help.  

Our culture and values

Our Values 

Respect. We commit to accepting all people for who they are and to treating them with dignity and respect, creating a welcoming environment where they can feel valued and thrive. 

Excellence. We strive to do everything to the best of our understanding, skills and abilities, working professionally and with integrity, both within the team and with those we collaborate with and support externally.   

Collaboration. We believe in the power of relationships and that our potential is maximised when we work well together. We foster a spirit of collaboration, inclusivity, recognition and affirmation. 

Authenticity. We strive to create an environment where team members and clients feel comfortable showing their true selves. We share the understanding that it is ok not to be ok at times. 

Humility. We recognise that we each have limited capacity and skills and that we need each other; we commit to fostering a learning culture where admitting we are wrong will be welcomed with compassion. 

Hope. We choose to hold great hope for a brighter future for survivors and we will play our part in helping them work towards that future. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

One of our values is respect. In the pursuit of this value we commit to accepting all people for who they are and to treating them with dignity and respect, creating a welcoming environment where all can feel valued and thrive. This applies to all staff, volunteers and clients.
