<p>The Home Office publishes quarterly statistics regarding the National Referral
Mechanism (NRM) which can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-referral-mechanism-statistics-quarter-2-2019-april-to-june"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-referral-mechanism-statistics-quarter-2-2019-april-to-june</a>
and the UK Annual Report on Modern Slavery which can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2019-uk-annual-report-on-modern-slavery"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2019-uk-annual-report-on-modern-slavery</a></p><p>This
information does not distinguish between those detained under immigration powers and
those living in the community. The reason for this is two-fold, firstly because the
NRM referral is not an immigration route by which individuals should regularise their
stay in the United Kingdom and secondly, because a person’s status in immigration
detention is not permanent and can change. The use of immigration detention in all
cases is subject to regular reviews.</p><p>Requests for reconsideration of negative
reasonable grounds decisions are taken in line with the published policy which can
be found at: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/828756/victims-modern-slavery-competent-auth-v8.0.pdf"
target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/828756/victims-modern-slavery-competent-auth-v8.0.pdf</a></p><p>Where
an individual considers that a National Referral Mechanism decision has been made
incorrectly, the decision can be challenged by way of Judicial Review.</p><p>It is
not possible to distinguish solely from reportable database fields without a manual
review of individual records the number of requests for reconsideration that were
rejected because they were not in line with policy, the number of requests for reconsideration
that were refused due to insufficient grounds for reconsideration. It is also not
possible to distinguish solely from reportable database fields whether a reconsideration
case type was the result of a reconsideration request as defined in the published
policy, the result of litigation including judicial review or the result of the reconsideration
of a suspended case.</p>
