Recommendation 8

8 Paragraph: 41

Modern Slavery Unit prioritises Illegal Migration Act over preventing human trafficking.

Conclusion
The Modern Slavery Unit’s outputs, including belated information about its new model for stakeholder engagement (Modern Slavery Stakeholder Forums) is opaque to say the least. We deeply regret that a unit comprising 56 staff has prioritised work on the Illegal Migration Act to the detriment of preventing human trafficking, protecting victims and prosecuting offenders responsible for human trafficking.
