Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they will publish the guidance on providing 12 months’ support to modern slavery victims who hold a positive conclusive grounds decision.

We are currently reviewing the commitment made regarding the provision of 12 months’ support to victims who have received a positive Conclusive Grounds decision, both in light of the urgent need to tackle misuse of the National Referral Mechanism and in order to consider how to best serve the individual needs of modern slavery victims

The Government remains committed to ensuring confirmed victims of modern slavery can access appropriate needs-based support in line with international and domestic legal obligations. Where required, confirmed adult victims of modern slavery who have outstanding recovery needs will continue to receive appropriate support under the Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract in England and Wales, alongside support provided by wider statutory services.
