However, trafficking is a covert crime and <br>victims are often hidden, making it difficult to establish the true scale of <br>the issue.<br><br>The National Crime Agency's UK Human Trafficking Centre publishes an annual <br>assessment of the number of victims of human trafficking. The most recent <br>assessment was published in August 2013 and can be found on the NCA website <br>(www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk).<br><br>The Government is determined to lead the global fight against human trafficking <br>(including modern slavery), and has introduced the Modern Slavery Bill. The <br>Bill will give law enforcement the tools to stamp out modern slavery, and <br>enhance protection for victims. To complement the Bill, the Government is also <br>ramping up non-legislative action to tackle this abhorrent crime.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 11/06/2014 16:30:50 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 57 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Foreign national students who had been served with an adverse immigration <br>decision were, at times, encountering a delay in receiving their travel <br>documents back from the Home Office. On occasion this resulted in their <br>immigration status changing to an overstayer. <br><br>The pilot referred to was conducted through an informal relationship between <br>the South Central Immigration Compliance and Enforcement (ICE) team and the <br>International Student Advisors embedded within two local Universities. Through <br>this link, those whose leave has been curtailed, have had an adverse decision, <br>or wish to depart the UK are provided with local assistance by the Immigration <br>Enforcement team. The pilot has enabled the local ICE team to facilitate the <br>return of travel documents quickly, resulting in an earlier departure for the <br>student. This has benefits for both the student and University as becoming an <br>overstayer could jeopardise future applications from students to continue their <br>studies. During 2013/14, fifty students were assisted in this way from two <br>Universities (this is local data taken from local records that has not been <br>sourced from an official database).<br><br>The Government is looking at how this example of local good practice can be <br>extended nationally.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 14/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 8887 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
