“Unknown/not-recorded” cases are ones where: • potential victims did not know the
location of exploitation; and / or</p><p>• potential victims have been moved with
the intention to exploit but have been identified before an act of exploitation has
taken place; and / or</p><p>• frontline workers did not accurately record this data
when initial referrals were made</p>
