<p>Section 65 of the Nationality and Borders Act confirms in primary legislation the
provision of temporary permission to stay for confirmed victims of modern slavery
where it is necessary, and unless relevant exemptions apply, to assist in their recovery
from physical or psychological harm related to their exploitation, to enable them
to claim compensation or to enable their co-operation in bringing their exploiters
to justice. This will bring clarity to both victims and decision makers on when victims
will and won’t be eligible for permission to stay.</p><p>We will keep the implementation
of reforms in the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 under close review.</p><p>The government
has completed a full economic and equalities impact assessment and we will review
the impact of section 65 going forward where necessary.</p>
