<p>The recent announcements on National Referral Mechanism (NRM) reform indicate the
Government’s commitment to markedly improve the identification of, and support provided
to, victims of modern slavery. This includes the provision of ‘drop in’ services for
all confirmed victims for up to 6 months after leaving support to aid the transition,
provided by The Salvation Army.</p><p>The Government also announced its intention
to invoke Section 50 of the Modern Slavery Act, setting out in regulation the support
that victims are entitled to and to launch a consultation in the preparation of statutory
guidance, under Section 49 of the Modern Slavery Act, on identification and support
for victims of slavery;</p><p> </p><p>Detailed implementation plans for the reform
programme are currently being developed which will identify likely timescales for
each of the reform measures and the relevant cost implications will be factored into
our routine financial planning process.</p>
