Slavery: Victims

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many duty-to-notify notices were received for potential victims of modern slavery between 7 March and 30 April this year compared to the same period in 2022.

Answer

The Home Office publishes quarterly and annual statistics regarding the National Referral Mechanism (NRM). The Q1 2023 statistics can be found here;

The data shows the number of duty to notify notices (DTN) received from January to March 2023 and the number of reasonable grounds decisions made per quarter.

Further disaggregated data which shows nationality and whether the potential victim was an adult or child at the time of exploitation is published via the UK Data Service.

The DTN data related to April 2023 will be part of the Q2 statistics which is due to be published in August 2023.
