Details

The national referral mechanism (NRM) is a multi-agency victim identification and support process. It is designed to make it easier for all the different agencies that could be involved in a trafficking case to cooperate, share information about potential victims and improve access to advice, accommodation and support.

In April 2014 the Home Secretary commissioned a review of the national referral mechanism to establish whether it provides an effective and efficient means of supporting and identifying potential victims of human trafficking and whether it can, or should, cover all victims of modern slavery.

The review’s final report makes a number of recommendations focussed on improving the experience of victims.
