Home Department written question – answered at on 12 July 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what work her Department is undertaking with police forces to implement a victim-centred approach to trafficking.
We are raising awareness and providing training to the police to help them deal with victims of trafficking.
Each of the UK's 55 police forces has a senior investigator trained in dealing with incidents of human trafficking. An awareness-raising DVD has also been provided to all police forces and Stop the Traffik cards have been issued to 10,000 front line neighbourhood police officers.
The United Kingdom Human Trafficking Centre (UKHTC) plays a key role in embedding human trafficking into core policing through the delivery of training and tactical advice available to all police officers, including access to a 24/7 helpline.
