Human Trafficking: Children

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how the evaluation of the National Referral Mechanism will examine the effectiveness of that mechanism for children.

Answer

The National Referral Mechanism pilot has been testing a new model for identifying and referring victims, processing cases and making effective decisions. The pilot has been dealing with both child and adult potential cases of modern slavery and the evaluation will consider decision making and timeliness for both cohorts. The final stage of the evaluation is currently underway and it is anticipated that the findings will be ready for publication summer 2017.
