<p>We are committed to ensuring that the National Referral Mechanism effectively supports
genuine victims to recover from their modern slavery experience and to support the
prosecution of their exploiters.</p><p> </p><p>Following a positive Conclusive Grounds
decision, if a victim is being supported by the Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract,
they will receive accommodation, financial support, and access to a support worker
where necessary, until they no longer have a recovery need for this support, or until
their recovery needs are met by alternative services.</p><p> </p><p>It is also a government
priority to increase prosecutions of perpetrators of modern slavery. That is why we
have made clear, for the first time in legislation, that where a public authority,
such as the police, is pursuing an investigation or criminal proceedings, confirmed
victims who are co-operating in this activity and need to remain in the UK in order
to do so, will be granted temporary permission to stay if it is necessary for them
to be in the UK to support the investigation.</p>
