answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2016 answer text <p>We are strengthening data collection on human trafficking and other forms of modern slavery in several ways. In the Modern Slavery Act we introduced a duty on named public authorities to notify the Home Office every time they have reasonable grounds to believe they have encountered a victim of modern slavery.</p><p>These notifications can be anonymous so that data is collected even if the potential victim does not want to engage with the authorities. We are reviewing the National Referral Mechanism form, so that it better captures key data about potential victims and perpetrators. Polaris and Unseen UK are working with other NGOs and law enforcement to launch an enhanced modern slavery helpline later this year which will capture more data and help to shine a light on the scale and nature of this appalling crime.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 24/03/2016 13:31:12 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
