Identification of victims of modern slavery
Call for evidence description
This call for evidence is an important step towards longer-term reforms of the modern slavery identification system (National Referral Mechanism). We are interested in hearing from a wide range of different groups about ways that the UK can have a more effective identification system for victims of modern slavery, where victims are recognised early and accurately so they can be protected and provided with appropriate assistance and support towards their recovery from exploitation.
The call for evidence is structured around 3 themes where the government has identified a particular need for further evidence and insights:
- definitions of victims of modern slavery
- initial identification of victims of modern slavery
- formal identification of victims of modern slavery
If you respond by email or post, you must clearly label which question numbers you are responding to.
