Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the (a) nationality and (b) gender was of each suspected victim of trafficking referred to the Trafficking Victim Support Scheme operated by the Salvation Army in July 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 they were placed for the relevant period; and what contact is maintained with each victim after he or she leaves the shelter to ensure he or she is not re-trafficked.
Answered by Karen Bradley
The data requested for July 2014 can be found on The Salvation Army’s website, at: http://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/uki/Anti_Human_Trafficking_Latest_Report
Monthly reports are published on the website providing information on victims that have been supported. In the interests of the victim’s safety, only the
region in which the victim was encountered will be provided.
Upon leaving Government-funded care, a victim is provided with tailored support either to safely return home or integrate in the UK, if they are eligible to do so. Once a victim leaves the service, no formal mechanisms exist to maintain contact with them. However, ongoing support of victims is being considered as part of the review of the National Referral Mechanism.
