This Bill would create a clear legal framework for supporting people who are or may be victims of modern slavery. It sets out the kinds of help victims should receive—such as access to specialist support, protection, and help with recovery and accessing legal remedies—and how that support should be delivered.
The Bill is at the second reading in the House of Lords, having been introduced in 2020; it will progress to further scrutiny in committee and successive stages if it advances.
