<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We are working with the NSPCC to pilot a Modern Slavery
Helpline as part of a wider communications and marketing campaign, to raise awareness
of modern slavery. The NSPCC will be given funding of up to £50,000 for one year to
host the helpline. We have engaged NSPCC by means of a formal Grant Agreement, not
a Contract, which will be managed using standard Home Office grant terms and conditions
in accordance with the principles of Managing Public Money. On this occasion, no other
organisations were invited to submit delivery proposals.<br><br>The helpline will
be established by the end of July 2014. We will work with a number of non-governmental
organisations, prior to the launch of the helpline, to ensure that callers to the
helpline have access to a range of organisations that can provide additional help,
advice and support. <br><br>Our longer term requirements for a helpline will be considered
as part of the National Referral Mechanism review, which will conclude later this
year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
