	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2018 answer text <p>All local agencies, including local authorities, have statutory duties to safeguard children as part of their local responsibilities, regardless of their backgrounds or experiences. The revised ‘Care of unaccompanied migrant children and child victims of modern slavery’ statutory guidance for local authorities (2017) sets out the steps that local authorities should take to plan for the provision of support where the child is an unaccompanied asylum seeking child and/or may have been a victim of trafficking or modern slavery.</p><p>Support for adult victims of modern slavery is provided by a central Government-funded contract, delivery by the Salvation Army. Victims receive tailored specialist support, including: accommodation, subsistence, counselling, access to mental, physical and dental health services, and signposting to legal support.</p><p>As part of reform to the National Referral Mechanism, we are working with local authorities to test pathways for transitioning confirmed victims of modern slavery out of central Government-funded support into local communities, and will evaluate the effectiveness of these pathways.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 06/02/2018 18:06:12 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

The median time is the middle value if you were to order all the times within the distribution from lowest value to highest value.

The 'Registration to DWP decision (end to end)' clearance time is measured as the average time between the date of registration of the claim and the date of the DWP decision to either award or disallow the claim. It does not include claims that were withdrawn by the claimant or claims that were disallowed by DWP pre-referral to the Assessment Providers (e.g. for failure to meet basic eligibility criteria or failure to return the Part 2 form within the time limit).</p><p>6.
