Human Trafficking: Victim Support Schemes
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether financial support for victims of trafficking has been adjusted for inflation.
- Answer
-
The Victim Care Contract (VCC) provides support to individuals who have been referred to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM), have received a positive reasonable grounds decision and have consented to support. The VCC provides support through accommodation (where needed), financial support and specialist support workers.
The rates for financial support are set out in the VCC and Modern Slavery Act 2015: Statutory Guidance for England and Wales. These rates have not been adjusted for inflation, however, they are kept under review. The Home Office is currently working towards a new financial support policy that will focus on individual victims’ needs.
