star this property answer text <p>The Government recognises the devastating impact of exploitation on children. There are a number of ways that we are tackling these types of exploitation. The Modern Slavery Act 2015, gives law enforcement agencies the tools to tackle modern slavery, such as sex trafficking and domestic servitude, including maximum life sentences for perpetrators and enhanced protection for victims, including children.</p><p>Where children are found to be potential victims of human trafficking or modern slavery their safety and welfare are addressed as a priority. Local authorities are responsible for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children in their area, including child victims of modern slavery.</p><p>In addition to this statutory support, the Government has rolled out Independent Child Trafficking Guardians (ICTGs) who provide an additional source of advice and support for all potentially trafficked children, irrespective of nationality. As of May 2021, ICTGs are available in two thirds of all local authorities across England and Wales.</p><p>The Government has announced its intention to review the 2014 Modern Slavery Strategy to consider how we can strengthen our approach. This will include considering what further measures can be put in place to reduce the risks of modern slavery exploitation to children.</p><p>On 20 January the Government announced £40m of dedicated investment for 2021/22 to tackle drugs supply and county lines, doubling our investment from last year. This includes funding for the Metropolitan Police’s Operation Orochi, which provides a dedicated taskforce to tackle county lines activity.</p><p>Since it was launched in November 2019, our County Lines Programme has already seen more than 780 lines closed, over 5,100 arrests, £2.9 million in cash and significant quantities of drugs seized, and more than 1,200 vulnerable people safeguarded.</p>

However, following careful consideration, and taking on board requests and feedback from key stakeholders, the implementation of Section 43 has been delayed until Spring 2023.</p><p>The additional time before commencement and implementation will allow industries to fully prepare for any changes they need to make to ensure full compliance with the UK immigration system, should they wish to bring in foreign national workers to work in UK waters. Fishermen can currently use the Skilled Worker route, eligible jobs include share fishermen, trawler skippers, fish processors, and deckhands on large fishing vessels (9m+). During this time period, as now, all foreign national workers working wholly or mainly in UK waters will still need permission to work before they come to the UK.</p><p>Further information and guidance will be available in advance of Spring 2023, including the date the new provision will come into force.</p>
