Recommendation 58

58 Deferred Paragraph: 180

Victim engagement, rapport, and trust improves outcomes, evidence, and prosecutions

Conclusion
Engaging with victims and building rapport and trust not only supports better outcomes for victims but can lead to a better evidence base and therefore to more successful prosecutions.
Government Response Summary
The government response outlines the UK's commitment to tackling modern slavery internationally through diplomatic and development tools, which deflects from the conclusion about the importance of victim engagement for better evidence and domestic prosecution outcomes.
Paragraph Reference: 180
