@FernBrady My daughter devoured it in about 3 days. She enjoyed it hugely and I think found it really helpful. You’ve reminded me that I need to negotiate a book loan so I can see for myself.

Delighted to see this award for this excellent documentary which shone a light on Domestic Servitude - probably the most hidden and neglected form of MSHT in the UK.

NEW Almost 17,000 potential victims of modern slavery were referred to @ukhomeoffice last year - 33% up on 2021 & highest figure on record.
Albanians overtook UK nationals as the most commonly referred nationality; people from Eritrea the third most referred.
41% were children

It is taking much longer from @ukhomeoffice to make final decisions in modern slavery cases.
On average, it was 543 days - that’s almost 18 months.
In 2021, it was around 15 months.

Thank you @PeterBoneUK for raising the appointment of a new @UKAntiSlavery at the PMQs today and also for making such a clear distinction between #humantrafficking and #smuggling happening in boats crossings. These are different things and require different responses.

Time we appointed a new Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner! Human trafficking has nothing to do with small boat crossings, that is people smuggling
