Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the nationality and gender of each suspected victim of trafficking to the Trafficking Victim Support Scheme operated by the Salvation Army in May 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 to which they were placed for the relevant period; and what contact is had with each victim after they exit the shelter to ensure they are not re-trafficked.

The data requested for May 2014 can be found on The Salvation Army’s website,
at:
http://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/uki/Anti_Human_Trafficking_Latest_Report.

In future, monthly reports will be 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 this service and the review of the National Referral
Mechanism.
