answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2019 answer text <p>There have been no recent Ministerial discussions with the Secretary of State for the Home Office specifically about the training United Kingdom medical schools provide on modern slavery.</p><p> </p><p>However, Health Education England runs an e-learning programme called e-Learning for Health (e-LfH) working in partnership with the National Health Service and professional bodies to support patient care by providing e-learning to educate and train the health and social care workforce. e-LfH includes a Modern Slavery programme which provides an overview of the issue of modern slavery. It is aimed at helping all healthcare staff recognise the signs that someone has been trafficked, and to take appropriate action with confidence.</p><p> </p><p>More widely, the Government recognises that clinical and healthcare staff have a significant role when they suspect that a patient is being trafficked. The position from NHS England is that it is vital that NHS health staff follow statutory processes for safeguarding referrals for adults as well as children given the wealth of evidence pointing to victim’s likelihood of having</p><p>care and support needs which require a coordinated response and assessment by the local authority as the accountable agency. Resources are available to enable healthcare staff identify individuals who may be victims of trafficking, and to respond in an appropriate manner. This includes understanding ways in which healthcare staff can provide support to those who may be victims.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond grouped question UIN 242958 question first answered 16/04/2019 14:38:57 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
