Tuesday 13th May 2014
Asked by:
John Glen (Conservative - Salisbury)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the nationality and gender was of each suspected victim of trafficking referred to the Trafficking Victim Support Scheme operated by the Salvation Army in April 2014; in which (a) region and (b) county each of the suspected victims was found; which agency referred each person to the Scheme; in which town the shelter was in which each such victim was placed for the relevant period; and what contact there is with each victim after they exit the shelter to ensure that they are not re-trafficked.
Answered by Karen Bradley
In April 2014, there were 111 referrals to the Government-funded support
service for adult victims of human trafficking in England and Wales,
administered by the Salvation Army. In the interests of victim safety, only the
region in which the victim was encountered is provided, and not which town they
were placed in. Once an individual receives a Conclusive Grounds decision they
will be given tailored support to safely return home or integrate in the UK.
Once they exit the service, no formal mechanisms exist to maintain contact.
Details of the 111 referrals in April are provided in the following table:
