National Referral Mechanism Statistics – End of Year Summary 2017 Date published: 26/03/2018 Reference: EOY17-MSHT Version number: 1.1 Authoring department/team: Vulnerabilities Command / MSHTU

Key Points •

5145 potential victims were submitted to the National Referral Mechanism in 2017; a 35% increase on 2016.

•

Reporting showed potential victims of trafficking from 116 different nationalities in 2017.

•

Albanian, UK and Vietnamese nationals remain the most commonly reported potential victims.

•

The most common exploitation type recorded for potential victims exploited as adults and minors was labour exploitation, which also includes criminal exploitation.

•

Of the 5145 potential victims referred to the NRM in 2017, 207 were referred to Scotland for crime recording purposes, 193 to Welsh forces and 31 to Northern Ireland. The remaining 4714 were referred to English police forces.

•

Minor exploitation referrals in the UK increased 66% to 2118 in 2017, compared to 1278 in 2016. This increase is due in part to an increase in County Lines gang exploitation referrals included within labour exploitation and unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC) being referred to the NRM.

Introduction This report presents a summary of the number of potential victims of modern slavery and human trafficking referred in to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) in 2017. Unless stated, the source used is from NRM data extracted on 10/01/2018. Some of the cases remain open with the Competent Authorities and decisions on their modern slavery status are yet to be made. The NRM is a ‘living’ process and data should be considered provisional until all cases are concluded. Some values may differ from previous or future reports as supplementary information is revealed throughout the duration of a case and their records are adjusted accordingly. Unless otherwise specified, percentages are rounded. This report does not provide any analysis of the picture of modern slavery in the UK. The report provides figures relating to the number of potential victims that have been referred in to the NRM process during 2017, with no decision data for the individual cases. Due to the changes introduced to NRM recording methodology in line with Home Office Counting Rules for crime recording purposes, there is no direct comparison possible to previous years when examining referral totals for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The 2016 totals are provided for information purposes only.

Overview Under the existing National Referral Mechanism (NRM) process potential victims of modern slavery are referred by ‘First Responders’ to one of two ‘competent authorities’ who consider whether an individual is a victim of modern slavery. 1 First Responders include a number of public bodies and specified NGOs. The two ‘competent authorities’ that make decisions about whether referred individuals are victims of modern slavery are the NCA’s Modern Slavery Human Trafficking Unit (formerly UK Human Trafficking Centre) that handles EEA national cases, and the Home Office, that handles non-EEA national cases or individuals in immigration detention. 2 Initially the competent authorities make a ‘reasonable grounds’ decision, which assesses whether the competent authority ‘believes but cannot prove’ that the person is a victim of modern slavery. If an adult individual receives a positive reasonable grounds decision they become entitled to State-funded support. 3 Local authorities have responsibilities to support child victims of modern slavery under existing statutory child protection arrangements. The competent authority then collects further evidence about the case in order to make a ‘conclusive grounds’ decision, which assesses whether ‘it is more likely than not’ that the

1 The NRM process and specialist support was initially established to deal solely with victims of human trafficking. In July 2015, the Government contract for adult victim care in England and Wales was extended to cover victims of all forms of modern slavery, in line with the recommendations of a review of the NRM system. Throughout this report, the term ‘modern slavery’ is used. The Northern Ireland Department of Justice has extended the scope of support in Northern Ireland to cover all potential victims of modern slavery. 2 Between August 2015 and March 2017, a pilot was set up to test changes to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) process in two areas: West Yorkshire and the South West of England (comprising the police force areas of Avon and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire). The pilot introduced Slavery and Safeguarding Leads to make reasonable grounds decisions, a Case Management Unit based in the Home Office to undertake NRM casework and multi-disciplinary panels to make conclusive grounds decisions. 3 In Northern Ireland, under section 18 of the Human Trafficking and Exploitation (Criminal Justice and Support for Victims) Act (Northern Ireland) 2015 assistance and support is made available to adult potential victims of modern slavery from the point where a referral to the NRM is made or is about to be made, rather than from the point that a positive reasonable grounds decision is received.

person is a victim of modern slavery. The time taken to reach a conclusive decision may be affected by the availability of supporting evidence. Not all of the individuals who are referred to the NRM will ultimately be assessed to be modern slavery victims. In October 2017, the Government announced reforms to the NRM, to improve identification of, and support for, victims of modern slavery. Further details about these reforms are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/modern-slavery-victims-to-receivelonger-period-of-support

Changes Introduced to NRM Data Management Previous iterations of this report were produced on the basis of the police force and country location of the first responder, irrespective of the claimed location of exploitation or residence of the potential victim at the time of referral. This led to invalid hotspot analysis of the data being applied to police force areas and the devolved regions of the UK. Following the July 2016 clarification and subsequent update in July 2017 within the Home Office Counting Rules 4 (HOCR) whereby: “all referrals made by the police into the NRM ……. and all those that the police receive from the NRM with a positive reasonable grounds decision applied must be subject of a recorded crime of MS (modern slavery)” A subsequent NCA review established that the previous statistical attribution of referrals to a particular country within the UK on the basis of the location of the first responder was misleading. In support of HOCR requirements, NRM referrals are now screened against the below criteria in order to identify the responsible geographical police force. Once identified, the referral is transmitted within one working day to the relevant Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB), or stipulated point of receipt within force for action. The reasonable grounds decision, once made, is subsequently notified to the force by the competent authority. Criteria applied to identify relevant force The force has acted as first responder, or the referral indicates that the force is already involved in the recording/investigation of the potential modern slavery human trafficking (MSHT) offences; or The potential victim has been exploited within the force area; or The potential victim has been exploited abroad, or at an unknown location and the victim’s address at time of referral is within the force area; or The potential victim has been exploited abroad or at an unknown location and they have presented to another first responder within the force area. The Annexes to this report and table overleaf have been compiled on the basis of where the police force that received the NRM referral is located, e.g. Wales will be comprised only of NRM referrals originating from, or sent to Dyfed-Powys Police, Gwent Police, North Wales Police or South Wales Police.

NRM Statistics 2017 This report contains limited finalised decision data for 2017, as a considerable proportion of cases (over 63%) are pending an outcome. Annex G provides a more detailed breakdown of status against nationality and exploitation types. A summary of the current status 5 for cases between 2013 and 2017 is provided to give an indication of the proportion of cases referred in previous years that received a positive or negative outcome. Total referral figures are adjusted to take account of duplicate cases identified since the last publication.

Reportedly, the PVs originated from 116 countries; this represents a 7% increase on 2016 country of origin totals. The 5145 referrals comprised 2454 females (47%) and 2688 males (52%), with 3 (35% N/A
