answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text <p>The Home Office has allocated a budget of £2.3 million to raise awareness of Modern Slavery in the UK and promote a new Modern Slavery helpline and website. The objective is to increase reporting of slavery so that more victims can be supported and protected and more perpetrators of this heinous and hidden crime are brought to justice. We have paid for a number of sponsored online and print articles in the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday to raise awareness of the issue and encourage reporting at a cost of £154,000. We are unable to give a cost for individual articles because of commercial confidentiality. We have also placed a number of sponsored articles in The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph at a cost of £125,000.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 22/10/2014 16:48:58 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 22876 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2014 answer text <p>The National Referral Mechanism (NRM) is a framework for identifying victims of trafficking and enabling them to access care and support. If the referred person is conclusively identified as a victim of trafficking, what happens next will depend on their immigration status and their own wishes. If it is decided by the Home Office that the person was not trafficked, and there are no other circumstances that would give them a right to live in the UK, they will be offered support to voluntarily return to their country of origin. There will be cases where a person is not entitled to leave to remain on the basis of their referral to the NRM, but do qualify for leave to remain for another reason. The NRM process runs parallel to the considerations of other applications for leave.<br><br>Since 1st May 2013, 116 people entered into the National Referral Mechanism as a potential victim of trafficking have been removed or have voluntarily departed the UK.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 17/10/2014 15:09:48 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 21954 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
