	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2024 answer text <p>Tackling modern slavery remains a priority for this government. We are committed to stamping out this abhorrent crime, working closely with law enforcement, criminal justice partners, business, civil society and local government to do so.</p><p>The UK response is underpinned by the Modern Slavery Strategy 2014 and the Modern Slavery Act 2015, which has given law enforcement agencies the tools to tackle modern slavery, including maximum life sentences for perpetrators and enhanced protection for victims.</p><p>In addition to core police funding, since 2016 we have invested £17.8 million in the Modern Slavery and Organised Immigration Crime Unit - a specialist police unit which supports all police forces in England and Wales, including the Metropolitan Police Service, to improve their response to modern slavery by increasing forces’ capability to identify and prosecute modern slavery crimes.</p><p>The Metropolitan Police Service (MET) also operates a dedicated Modern Slavery and Child Exploitation Team staffed by specialist officers, which plays a vital role in tackling modern slavery across London.</p><p>The National Referral Mechanism (NRM) is the framework for identifying and referring potential victims of modern slavery and ensuring they receive the appropriate support. If a First Responder thinks that modern slavery has taken place, the case should be referred to the NRM so that the relevant competent authority can fully consider the case. This process operates across all of England and Wales.</p><p>The Home Office also funds the Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract (MSVCC) to provide specialist support to adult victims of modern slavery in England and Wales. A total of 10,704 adults in England and Wales received support through the MSVCC during the year ending June 2023, the largest number supported for any year since the contract began.</p><p>In addition to local child protection procedures and support, the Government has rolled out Independent Child Trafficking Guardians (ICTGs) to two thirds of local authorities in England and Wales. The ICTG service provides an additional source of advice and support for potentially trafficked children, irrespective of nationality or immigration status. ICTGs currently operate in London, including Enfield.</p><p>The Devolved Decision-Making Pilot, which aims to test whether determining if a child is a victim of modern slavery within existing safeguarding structures is a better model for making modern slavery decisions for children is being tested in 20 pilot sites across the UK. The pilot has 8 pilot sites in Greater London, covering 10 local authorities, including Enfield Council.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 26/02/2024 16:53:00 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

Through the lifetime of the Programme, we have seen an increase in the number of live police operations from 188 police operations in December 2016 to over 3,869 in October 2021.</p><p>As part of the New Plan for Immigration, the Home Office announced the creation of a Modern Slavery Prevention Fund, which closed for bids, including from local authorities and NGOs, on 8 November 2021. Over the next year, the Home Office intends to use that fund to support organisations to deliver targeted prevention interventions.</p><p>The Government is also currently reviewing its Modern Slavery Strategy and will consider whether there are further opportunities to strengthen the law enforcement response to modern slavery, building on the considerable progress we have made to date.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 02/12/2021 15:27:15 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
