answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2018 answer text <p>The UK Government is committed to driving action to eradicate modern slavery internationally, as well as in the UK. <br>The Government is developing strong partnerships with countries that have many victims trafficked into the UK, as well as working with countries that have a high prevalence of slavery to support their efforts to tackle it. The Government is also advocating for better multilateral engagement and international coordination to drive action on modern slavery globally. In September 2017 the Prime Minister launched a Call to Action at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) to encourage countries to drive action to tackle modern slavery - 41 countries have now endorsed the Call to Action. The Prime Minister also announced at UNGA that the UK would double its aid budget for tackling modern slavery to £150m. This includes the £33.5m Modern Slavery Fund managed by the Home Office for targeted projects in countries from which the UK receives high numbers of victims. <br>More information on the Government’s international work can be found at chapter 2 of the 2017 UK Annual Report on Modern Slavery.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 06/02/2018 14:22:51 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2018 answer text <p>The Home Office does not routinely collect data on victims after they have left the National Referral Mechanism. In October 2017, the Government announced a package of reforms to the National Referral Mechanism including the development of a digitised casework system. It is anticipated that the digital system will improve our ability to collate and report on the progress of victims through the National Referral Mechanism.</p><p>The reform package additionally includes an extended period of move on support for confirmed victims. This will enable a more robust transition for victims leaving government funded support. In addition, the provision of a 6 month drop-in service will present the opportunity for continued engagement between support providers and confirmed adult victims.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 05/02/2018 17:27:08 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
