star this property answer text <p>Independent Child Trafficking Advocates (ICTAs) are an independent source of advice for trafficked children and somebody who can speak up on their behalf. <br>We have successfully rolled out ICTAs to one third of all local authorities in England and Wales, in line with the commitment we made in July last year. Where the service is available, all children that are potential victims of trafficking are eligible for support.</p><p><br>The Independent Review of the Modern Slavery Act led by Frank Field, Baroness Butler-Sloss and Maria Miller has recently considered Section 48 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, which makes provisions for ICTAs. The Review’s interim reports can be found</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/independent-review-of-the-modern-slavery-act#interim-reports" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/independent-review-of-the-modern-slavery-act#interim-reports</a></p><p>The Government is currently carefully considering the recommendations for ICTAs, and we remain committed to rolling ICTAs out nationally</p><p>Unaccompanied children are looked after by the relevant local authority and are entitled to the same services as any other looked after child. Under these arrangements, unaccompanied children will have a professional social worker and an independent reviewing officer to oversee their care arrangements. All unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in England are referred to the Refugee Council’s Children’s Panel and they are also entitled to legal assistance in pursuing their asylum claim. The Government believes that these arrangements ensure unaccompanied children are provided with the independent support and advice that they need.</p>

We continue to work closely with retailers, the police and others to tackle these crimes.</p><p>Some information is available on the number of assaults and threats made against staff in the Wholesale and retail sector working in premises in England and Wales from the Home Office Commercial Victimisation.
