Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions are taking place with the devolved administrations to ensure consistent implementation of any proposed changes to the National Referral Mechanism referred to in the Modern Slavery Strategy.

Officials from the Devolved Administrations have attended workshops to develop the pilot model and are in regular discussion with Home Office officials about the operation of the current NRM and potential changes following the review. Further discussions on options for extending the pilot model will be held as evaluation findings emerge over the coming year.
