answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Modern Slavery Bill, published on 10 June 2014, includes an enabling clause <br>which provides a statutory basis for child trafficking advocates and their <br>functions including the circumstances and conditions under which a person may <br>act as an advocate. <br><br>The clause provides the Secretary of State with a power to make arrangements so <br>that specialist child trafficking advocates are available to support and <br>represent children who there is reason to believe may be victims of <br>trafficking. It also allows for requirements on public authorities to <br>co-operate with and provide information to these advocates.<br><br>Trials of the child trafficking advocates scheme will commence in summer 2014. <br>The trials will be independently evaluated both at six months and on <br>completion. A report on the findings will be laid before Parliament.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 03/07/2014 13:04:32 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The most effective way to protect child victims of trafficking is to have a <br>general offence, which applies to both adults and children. The Modern <br>Slavery Bill contains a general human trafficking offence, which does not<br>require prosecutors to prove the age of the child, as this can lead to practical <br>problems during prosecutions. Targeting a child will, however, be an <br>aggravating factor for sentencing purposes, and the human trafficking<br>offence in the Modern Slavery Bill will carry a maximum sentence of life <br>imprisonment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 07/07/2014 12:08:36 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 7822 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
