<p>Victims of human trafficking or modern slavery are regarded as vulnerable in the
terms of the Home Office’s adults at risk in immigration detention policy. This means
that such individuals will be detained for the purpose of removal from the UK, or
their detention continued, only when the evidence of their vulnerability is outweighed
by the immigration considerations likely date of removal, compliance with immigration
law and public protection in their particular case.</p><p>Additionally, in cases in
which it has been found that there are reasonable grounds to believe that an individual
may be a victim of trafficking or modern slavery, the appropriateness of their being
detained, or of their detention continuing, is governed by the Home Office’s modern
slavery policy. This means that such individuals will not be detained, unless there
are public order considerations that justify their detention.</p>
