<p>Information on the Independent Child Trafficking Advocate (ICTA) service and children
who exited support can be found in the Interim Report published by the Home Office
in July, and the accompanying data tables on Gov.UK.</p><p>On turning 18, any young
person who is awaiting an NRM decision, becomes eligible for support from The Salvation
Army through the Victim Care Contract. It is part of the ICTA’s role to ensure they
effectively transition children turning 18 into appropriate support upon leaving the
ICTA service. This can include services procured through The Salvation Army and a
range of locally provided adult services. The transition of children out of the ICTA
service, including when a child turns 18, is being examined as part of the next phase
of the assessment of the ICTA service in early adopter sites and will form part of
the final report, to be published in Spring 2019.</p><p>The Government has also commissioned
an Independent Review of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 which is examining section 48
of the Act, which provides for ICTAs.</p>
