How to report suspected modern slavery offences
North East Lincolnshire saw 35 offences linked to modern slavery recorded in 12 months.
This information supplied by Humberside Police was contained in an updated report on the council’s approach to helping tackle modern slavery, heard by its Communities Scrutiny Panel. The panel were also told that 10 adults and 14 children were logged last year in North East Lincolnshire to the National Referral Mechanism as potential victims of human trafficking and modern slavery. Of these, 19 were identified as being criminally exploited, “primarily linked to County Lines activity”.
“North East Lincolnshire Council chairs the North East Lincolnshire Modern Slavery Partnership, working closely with organisations including Humberside Police, the NHS and the Home Office to provide training for local organisations, to raise awareness of modern slavery among our local communities, and to prevent and disrupt modern slavery in the local area.
“I think the officers involved in the multi partnership are very passionate and doing their best, doing a lot to gain intelligence and gain the trust of people who may be victims because that is a difficulty.” The partnership’s work was “excellent”, including an awareness campaign run by it. But she did admit she had not been aware of the partnership’s existence before and said she felt ward councillors should be more involved.
