John Randall – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Randall on 2014-04-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the nationality and gender was of each suspected victim of trafficking referred to the Trafficking Victim Support Scheme operated by the Salvation Army in March 2014; which agency referred each person to that scheme; in which town the shelter to which those people were placed for the relevant period was; and what contact is had with each such victim to ensure their safety after they exit the scheme.

In March 2014, there were 126 referrals to the Government-funded support
service for adult victims of human trafficking in England and Wales
administered by The Salvation Army. In the interests of victim safety only the
region in which the victim was encountered is provided, and not which town they
were placed in. Once an individual receives a Conclusive Grounds decision they
will be given tailored move-on support to safely return home or integrate in
the UK. Once they exit the service, no formal mechanisms exist to maintain
contact.
