Deferred
Expand and utilise Victim Navigator programme in all cases with victim-centred approach
Conclusion
Victim support must be at the centre of the investigation and prosecution process. The Victim Navigator programme should be expanded and utilised in all cases. A victim centred approach will take account of culturally appropriate support and good communication with NRM support services. (Paragraph 182) 78 Human trafficking Identification and Protection
