Recommendation 80
80
Deferred
Paragraph: 235
Develop strategy for transitioning child victims to adult services with continuity of support.
Conclusion
Local authorities and safeguarding partners should develop a defined strategy for child victims to be transitioned to appropriate adult services with continuity of support to ensure that there is no gap in services such as mental health care.
Government Response Summary
The government's response discussed publishing NRM referral data and filtering out system misuse, completely deflecting from the recommendation about developing strategies for transitioning child victims to adult services.

81. The Home Office regularly publishes a summary and breakdown of the number of potential victims of modern slavery referred into the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) or via the Duty to Notify (DtN) process, including NRM referrals from Small Boats. Misuse of any system, by its very nature, is difficult to evidence. If we were able to evidence overt misuse, it would be filtered out of the system.
