In recent years the Government has tightened legislation to ensure that we have a robust system which supports genuine victims and reduces the opportunity for misuse. In the New Plan for Immigration the Government committed to further strengthening the criminal justice response to modern slavery, including by ensuring victims have the support they need to engage with the criminal justice system so that offenders face justice. Measures under the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 came into force in early 2023, which have helped clarify our obligations to victims of modern slavery and reduced opportunities for misuse of our systems. We also updated our guidance on how reasonable grounds decisions are made to better ensure that victims of modern slavery are appropriately identified and receive the support they need.
