The study was conducted using DAS’ Intelligent Futures service, which applies a best practice approach for thinking ahead and planning for uncertainty. Intelligent Futures combines multiple advanced, future-focussed techniques to deliver on-going strategic intelligence and foresight for organisations. It provides a foundation for understanding future risks, uncertainties, and opportunities, and for anticipating and staying ahead of evolving threats.

DAS used the research findings from the foresight study to determine insights and possible ways to disrupt and reduce modern slavery and human trafficking over the next ten years.  IASC used these recommendations as the basis for a five-point action plan for the UK Government. The plan sets out the following actions:

• Put survivors at the centre: embed lived experience in policymaking and oversight.
• Publish and maintain a Modern Slavery Strategy that stays ahead of evolving threats.
• Ending modern slavery and exploitation must be a whole-of Government priority backed by visible political will.
• Protect survivors of exploitation and provide specialist care for child victims.
• Strengthen law enforcement capability to disrupt modern slavery, including technology-enabled exploitation and illicit finance.

Dr Elaine Wedlock, Head of Strategic Analysis for IASC, praised DAS’s approach to delivery, saying: “We found your thorough, structured approach of applying the futures methodology to be extremely insightful and we have a lot to focus on and from it for the future work of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner.”

The Critical Material’s team were commended for their outstanding work across critical material supply and demand, specifically supporting the delivery of two pioneering foresight studies. Commissioned by the Critical Materials Intelligence Centre (CMIC), on behalf of the Department for Business and Trade, the first study analysed the supply and demand of copper and aluminium for Great Britain’s national grid infrastructure. The second analysed of the supply and demand of critical materials for the UK nuclear industry. Both foresight studies looked out to 2050.

YEP’s Team of the Year Award judge, Rich Hampshire of CGI, said: “I am hugely impressed with what the Critical Materials Team have achieved in a short period of time. This included establishing the team and moving to the performing phase quickly. The degree of stakeholder engagement, collaboration and securing stakeholder buy-in were also noted as being important to the team’s success. The impact of this project on the ability to take informed decisions in a critical and under-recognised challenge in achieving clean power by 2050 – that is, the ability to secure access to critical minerals to meet the growing demand. Very well done and congratulations!”

The studies have contributed significant knowledge of grid infrastructure materials requirements to 2050 and understanding for the nuclear sector on the journey towards achieving net zero by 2050.

The studies have contributed significant knowledge of grid infrastructure materials requirements to 2050 and understanding for the nuclear sector on the journey towards achieving net zero by 2050. The recommendations from the reports are being used to inform government and industry of critical material supply risks and mitigation strategies, including circular economy principles, key to achieving Net Zero 2050.

Rosemary Wildblood, Critical Materials Project Director, said: I am thrilled that the team have been shortlisted for the Young Energy Professionals ‘Team of the Year’ award this year. I am extremely proud of their pioneering work across critical materials supply and demand and being at the forefront of supporting the energy industry with insight and foresight on materials risk through to 2050 and beyond.”
