<p>The Government is committed to delivering personalised, needs-based support to
victims of modern slavery, which places the individual victim and their recovery needs
at the heart of the support we provide.</p><p>The National Referral Mechanism (NRM)
is the process that identifies and supports victims of modern slavery by connecting
them with appropriate support; including through the UK government funded Modern Slavery
Victim Care Contract (MSVCC), support provided by local authorities, asylum services,
and wider state support services such as the NHS.</p><p>The MSVCC is valued at over
£300m and helps thousands of victims in England and Wales each year to access vital
support they need to assist with their recovery from their modern slavery experience.
It provides victims with three core pillars of support: safehouse accommodation, financial
support (where necessary), and access to a support worker to assist with accessing
wider services such as healthcare, translation services and legal aid. The Government’s
comprehensive support offer is set out in full in Annex F of the Modern Slavery Statutory
guidance, found <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1104107/Modern_Slavery_Statutory_Guidance__EW__Non-Statutory_Guidance__SNI__v2.11.pdf"

for victims in Scotland and Northern Ireland is provided by the Scottish Government
and the Northern Ireland Executive respectively.</p>
