84. The Government remains committed to ensuring all potential and confirmed victims of modern slavery have secure and appropriate accommodation when they enter National Referral Mechanism (NRM) support. The Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract (MSVCC) manages their pipeline of secure accommodation to meet the demands of the NRM system and those victims who require accommodation as part of their support package, including single sex provision where necessary. The Home Office contract managers monitor the portfolio as part of contract governance to ensure the MSVCC has appropriate capacity to meet demand. 3 Irregular migration to the UK, year ending December 2022 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk); Annex: analysis of modern slavery NRM referrals from asylum, small boats and detention cohorts - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
