star this property answer text <p>Regional organised crime units (ROCUs) are the primary interface between the National Crime Agency (NCA) and local police forces. They support the effort against serious and organised crime by providing capabilities which enhance the <br>police response against regionally impacting activity, including Modern Slavery. Minimum standards, including mandatory training and accreditation, have been set by the College of Policing, for some of the ROCUs’ core capabilities. <br>This does not include specific training on the enforcement of labour standards; anything undertaken above the minimum requirements is at the discretion of each ROCU’s leadership to provide.<br><br>As set out in the Modern Slavery Strategy, the National Policing Lead, Shaun Sawyer, is leading work to promote a requirement that all officers and staff responsible for tackling modern slavery have received appropriate training, <br>drawing on the training packages developed by the College of Policing.

star this property answer text <p>The Home Office sponsors the National Referral Mechanism to provide support to victims of modern slavery offences, whilst support for workers who have experienced exploitative treatment from employers and employment agencies is available from other enforcement authorities across Government, including the HMRC national minimum wage team, the BEIS Employment Agency Standards' Inspectorate and the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority. All potential adult victims of Modern Slavery, including those who suffer labour exploitation, are able to access a tailored and specialised package of care and support through the £40m government-funded Salvation Army victim care contract.</p><p>The Modern Slavery Act 2015 consolidated and strengthened modern slavery offences and introduced a world-leading provision which requires all commercial organisations operating in the UK with a turnover above £36m to set out what steps they are taking to prevent modern slavery in their business and supply chains. This transparency will drive improvements in tackling modern slavery throughout the business community.</p><p>The Immigration Act 2016 established the Director of Labour Market Enforcement to provide closer integration between the authorities responsible for enforcing labour market protections and a stronger intelligence capability, reformed the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority with new powers to investigate labour market offences wherever they occur in the economy, and stronger sanctions for non-compliant businesses. The Immigration Act 2016 also includes new powers to tackle employers of migrants working illegally on the UK.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Department does not collect information on the number of local authority inspections of Houses in Multiple Occupation. The Department does not have policy responsibility for forced labour or victims of trauma, consequently local authority officers do not receive training from my Department on the indicators of forced labour or working with victims of trauma. To support local authorities, we have just published revised guidance on tackling rogue landlords, as well as beds in sheds. This builds on the £6.7 million the Government has given councils to tackle rogue landlords in their area. To date, nearly 40,000 properties have been inspected and over 3,000 landlords are now facing further action or prosecution for breaking the law.</p> more like this
