Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent steps she has taken to introduce places of safety for people leaving immediate situations of exploitation before deciding whether to enter the National Referral Mechanism.

Potential victims of modern slavery who have entered the NRM, and need emergency accommodation, particularly those who are vulnerable and are leaving immediate situations of exploitation, will receive accommodation support in line with the Modern Slavery Statutory Guidance.

The Home Office is reviewing the policy options and commencement of places of safety.
