Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will set out the individual needs that are considered during an assessment of a victim of (a) modern slavery and (b) human trafficking's eligibility for allocation to outreach services; and if he will make a statement.

The Salvation Army conducts a needs assessment for victims of modern slavery who are referred for support under the Victim Care Contract. These assessments are used to evaluate what kind of support services an individual requires during their outreach support.

There is no assessment of eligibility as both accommodation and outreach are available to any individual referred into the NRM. The needs assessment only evaluates which type of accommodation or outreach services are most appropriate to their situation.

The service requirements of the Victim Care Contract can be found publicly via the following link:
