The National Crime Agency publishes statistics on referrals into the National Referral Mechanism on a quarterly basis. These statistics includes the breakdown of referrals for children by nationality and primary exploitation type. Criminal exploitation is recorded as a sub category of Labour exploitation within the statistics and would include children found in cannabis farms and nail bars.
