Support for male potential victims of human trafficking is offered through the victim care contract run by The Salvation Army, in England and Wales. Support is tailored for each potential victim through a detailed needs based assessment. Specific care available to male potential victims includes:

male-only accommodation; access to psychological support; access to legal advice and assistance; counselling, including trauma counselling where relevant; emergency medical treatment and assistance with male-related health issues; translation and interpretation services where appropriate; and transition support to either return home, or where they have leave to remain, to help settle in the UK.
