No training or financial assistance has been provided directly to local authorities, by the Home Office, to tackle human trafficking and modern slavery in the years 2011-2014.
In 2013, three Non-Government Organisations were awarded total grant funding of approximately £75,000 by the Home Office to provide training to a range of local professionals, including those working in local authorities.
Home Office funding of £420,000 is being provided to Barnardo\u2019s to fund independent child advocacy service trials for a period of twelve months in 23 local authorities.<\/p>

The Government funds the Adult Human Trafficking Care and Co-ordination contract which ensures that potential victims of trafficking receive
appropriate care and support once they have been identified. As part of this contract and in compliance with our international obligations (Council of Europe Convention and the EU Directive on Trafficking in Human Beings), the Home Office has made it a core requirement for the Contractor to provide assistance to victims at appropriate stages of criminal proceedings against offenders. The Contractor is also required to cooperate with the police and judicial service in order to assist in the prosecution of potential offenders particularly when requests for information are made.
Such assistance includes:
\u2022 explaining to victims the relevant procedures relating to the prosecution of offenders;
\u2022 encouraging victims to cooperate with any police enquiries and with the wider justice system.
\u2022 explaining to victims where relevant, what role they will have in court proceedings; and
\u2022 facilitating access to independent legal support for victims and where appropriate assisting victims to apply for Legal Aid.
In addition, the police have raised awareness amongst its officers about the need to ensure that victims are at the centre of any modern slavery
investigation, this awareness includes how to conduct interviews with traumatised potential victims in order to ensure that they are able to provide
the most comprehensive information required to assist in prosecutions.<\/p>

The Home Office is spending £2.3million on a modern slavery publicity campaign to raise greater public awareness of modern slavery and encourage reporting to the new modern slavery helpline, launched on 31 July. This includes the costs of all planning, media buying, agency fees and production.
Detailed information on the numbers and locations of victims of trafficking and traffickers is provided by the Salvation Army and the National Crime Agency. Specific funding is not provided by the Home Office for this purpose; it is funded through existing resource costs.
The Home Office does not hold information on the costs of specific police force campaigns. This information is held by the individual police forces.<\/p>

The Government funds the Adult Human Trafficking Care and Co-ordination contract which ensures that potential victims of trafficking receive
appropriate care and support once they have been identified. As part of this contract and in compliance with our international obligations (Council of Europe Convention and the EU Directive on Trafficking in Human Beings), the Home Office has made it a core requirement for the Contractor to provide access to a range of specialist services, including therapy and counselling, to victims of trafficking who request or require it.
Such services are not necessarily related to pre-trial circumstances. Most victims of trafficking who are assisting the police are usually called to trial after they have left the service. As a result, pre-trial therapy and counselling would be received from other sources and not under the contract. For this reason, the Home Office does not collect the requested information.<\/p>
