Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will review the remit of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner.

Answer

The remit of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner (IASC) is set out in the 2015 Modern Slavery Act. In line with what is detailed in the Act, the role of the IASC will be to encourage good practice in:

  • the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of slavery and human trafficking offences; and
  • the identification of victims of those offences.

We look forward to working with IASC, who I am confident will set out their priorities in due course.
