Further disaggregated data is published via the UK Data Service and can be accessed here UK Data Service.

Whatever form it takes, exploitation, human trafficking, and modern slavery is abuse, and relevant child protection procedures must be followed if there is any suspicion a child may be at risk.
Child victims do not need to provide consent to enter the NRM.

The UK is committed to working with international partners to prevent exploitation both domestically and abroad.
