Recommendation 47
47
Paragraph: 144
NCA resources diverted from modern slavery, impacting UK and international anti-trafficking efforts.
Conclusion
The National Crime Agency’s (NCA) remit is not only international but also includes internal organised crime group threats. The NCA’s work has been mostly diverted to focus on tackling smuggling upstream, in line with the Government’s focus on organised immigration crime. The diverting of resources away from modern slavery and human trafficking impacts the fight against both UK-based trafficking and at the international level.
