answer text <p>Potential victims of modern slavery in England and Wales are entitled to a reflection and recovery period for a minimum of 45 calendar days, or until a conclusive decision has been made on their victim status. This meets and exceeds obligations under the European Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, which requires a minimum of 30 days of support. In practice, many potential victims are in support for more than 90 days.</p><p>As part of the Government’s reform of the National Referral Mechanism, we are working with partners to assess how the current system works in practice and consider the support we provide to victims, to ensure that it enables them to begin to recover, rebuild their lives, and avoid future exploitation.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The review into the funding of Islamist extremist activity in the UK used the Government’s definition of extremism, set out in the Counter-Extremism Strategy published in October 2015. Extremism is the vocal or active opposition to our fundamental values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and the mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. We also regard calls for the death of members of our armed forces as extremist.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is a non-departmental public body (NDPB). The Government is committed to the Haldane principle, whereby funding decisions are made by independent experts and as such government departments are not in a position to intervene in that decision making process on behalf of particular projects or individuals.</p><p> </p><p>Research funding is awarded on a competitive basis and the decision to fund projects such as potential work on criminal gangs is taken by the ESRC following a peer review and wider commissioning process. Grant funding is very competitive, and it is not possible to fund all fundable proposals. The commissioning processes are, however, designed to ensure that all research areas are treated fairly.</p> more like this
