The Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 (PSA) was designed to complement the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (MDA), by introducing civil sanctions and offences for those who produce, possess with intent to supply, supply, offer to supply and import or export new psychoactive substances which are not controlled under the MDA or which are not otherwise exempt. One of the important safeguards which the PSA provides is ensuring there are no gaps in law enforcement powers to tackle newly emerging harmful drugs. This is in the context that prior to 2016 criminal gangs were designing new psychoactive drugs with different chemical structures in order to evade MDA controls. Substances can be moved into the MDA following advice on their harms from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) and subject to the decisions of Ministers.<\/p>

A review of the PSA published in 2018 found that there is no evidence that the PSA has adversely affected the process or timeliness with which substances can be controlled under the MDA, with substances continuing to be controlled after the Act was introduced. Review of the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 (publishing.service.gov.uk)<\/a>. The government keeps all legislation under review, but has no plans to change either legislative regime substantially.<\/p>

The report referred to as \u2018Interaction and relationship between the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016\u2019 was shared with the Home Office in confidence by the ACMD and is not a public document. One recommendation has been made public, concerning a review of the Working Protocol between the ACMD and the Home Office, which the government has agreed to undertake.<\/p>

There are no plans to update the practice guidance \u2018Safeguarding children who may have been trafficked\u2019. The revised statutory guidance \u2018The care of unaccompanied asylum seeking and trafficked children\u2019 will be published this autumn.<\/p>

The training for foster carers and support workers that DfE commissioned from the Refugee Council and ECPAT enables those caring for unaccompanied and trafficked children to understand the challenges and risks facing these children, and equips participants with the knowledge and tools to respond effectively to their needs. Participants were also provided with access to an e-learning course to help recognise the needs of child and adult victims of trafficking and guidance on actions carers and professionals should take to identify and safeguard victims.<\/p>

Foster carers and support workers attended training courses located in 48 local authorities (see list below). Training was not limited to carers from those authorities.<\/p>

The forthcoming safeguarding strategy for unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee children will address the need for any additional training required by foster carers and support workers to care for children who are, or might be, victims of human trafficking and exploitation.<\/p>

Further to the training which has recently commissioned, the statutory guidance on \u2018The care of unaccompanied asylum seeking and trafficked children\u2019 states that \u201cEveryone involved in the care of unaccompanied and trafficked children should be trained to recognise and understand the particular issues likely to be faced by these children. This includes recognising the indicators of trafficking as a child\u2019s previous history or current experience of being trafficked might not be apparent on entering care."<\/p>
