Activity includes trade press, online and email advertising. <br><br>Local activity will also run as a pilot in Bradford, targeting victims and affected communities of modern slavery with advice on recognising and reporting slavery. Specific activity is currently being scoped out and planned, but is <br>likely to include community events and local partner activity. <br><br>The £2.3 million total campaign budget was spent on media and production costs to deliver the outlined activity and includes the cost of evaluating the campaign.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 02/12/2014 17:09:33 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 31164 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
