<p>The Government is committed to providing victims of modern slavery with the support
they need by ensuring the effectiveness of the National Referral Mechanism (NRM).
The NRM - our system for identifying and supporting victims of modern slavery - operates
as a bridge; it lifts someone out of a situation of exploitation, provides them with
a period of intensive support, and then puts them on the road to recovery.</p><p>In
October 2017, the Government announced an ambitious package of reforms to the NRM,
which were developed following extensive stakeholder consultation. These reforms focus
on ensuring the NRM is effective in delivering what victims want: quicker and more
certain decision-making that stakeholders and victims have confidence in; improved
support for adult victims before, during and after the NRM; improved identification
of victims; and improved support to child victims of modern slavery. More information
on the NRM reform is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-referral-mechanism-reform/national-referral-mechanism-reform"

Government continues to cooperate with stakeholders as the reforms are being implemented
to ensure that the NRM is effective in identifying and supporting victims of modern
slavery.</p>
