Proceeding contribution from Lord Coaker (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2017. It occurred during Backbench debate on Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Modern Slavery Act 2015
I thank my hon. Friend for raising that absolutely crucial issue. Often at the end of the statutory 45-day period of reflection, there is a period of further support that people may be given, but the evidence shows that the vast majority of people who enter into that fall back into exploitation or are re-trafficked. Something needs to be done to deal with this.
The police say that they have often referred the same individual into the national referral mechanism multiple times.
