We announced in January our intention to trial specialist independent advocates for victims of child trafficking. <br><br>23 local authorities have agreed to participate in the trial: Greater Manchester including Manchester City, Stockport, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton, Wigan, Salford, Trafford; West Midlands including, Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall, Wolverhampton; Croydon; Derbyshire; Kent; Lancashire; Oxfordshire; and West Sussex. <br><br>These local authorities represent a wide demographic range as well as major transport hubs and asylum screening units. These areas also have the highest rates of trafficking referrals to the National Referral Mechanism or are areas where we are aware of a high number of trafficking investigations by law enforcement agencies.<br><br>We remain committed to trialing this approach. We are currently considering bids from a number of voluntary and community services organisations that were identified as potential providers of the advocacy service because of the particular expertise they hold. We will announce the outcome of the process in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 01/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 7989 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

The expert panel includes <br>a senior policy adviser from the Local Government Association to inform the <br>work of the panel from a local government perspective, including whether <br>existing by-laws may be used to tackle this damaging trade. This work is <br>ongoing, and the panel is due to report its recommendations by the end of <br>spring 2014.<br><br>To support local authorities, the Home Office published guidance in December <br>2013 setting out the range of legislative tools local authorities can use to <br>tackle the 'head shops' where these substances are often sold. This was developed in <br>collaboration with the Department for Communities and Local Government, the <br>Local Government Association and the Trading Standards Institute and can be <br>found here: <br>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/action-against-head-shops<br><br>The guidance covers offences head shops may be committing under the Misuse of <br>Drugs Act 1971, the Intoxicating Substances (Supply) Act 1985, and various <br>consumer protection regulations. <br><br>The Home Office has also provided targeted support to local authorities with <br>testing of new psychoactive substances through the Forensic Early Warning <br>System, to help them take action against the sale of these products by <br>identifying the contents.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 30/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker
