answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>In June 2014, there were 97 referrals to the Government-funded support service <br>for adult victims of human trafficking in England and Wales administered by the <br>Salvation Army, of which 59 were female victims, 37 were male victims and 1 was <br>a transgender victim. In the interests of victim safety only the region in <br>which the victim was encountered is provided, and not the county, parliamentary <br>constituency or details of the specific shelters at which victims are <br>supported. The scope of the victim care contract does not extend (a) beyond the <br>date on which a victim exits government funded support or (b) to the safety and <br>protection of victims post the recovery and reflection period. The Salvation <br>Army therefore does not routinely maintain contact with victims outside the <br>scope of the victim care contract. <br><br>Details are provided in the table below.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 14/07/2014 13:07:49 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley attachment 1 file name PQ204181 Data Table.doc title Data -victims of human trafficking
