- Summary
-
This assessment was produced to provide an indication of the nature and scale of human trafficking in 2011. This is the first time an attempt has been made to describe the full extent of human trafficking in the United Kingdom.
The assessment explores the number of potential victims of trafficking identified, their country of origin and exploitation types, as well as enablers of trafficking, including recruitment techniques, transport methods and documentation.
It aims to inform the UK and international law enforcement, national and devolved government, non-governmental organisations, the voluntary sector and, through publication on the SOCA website, the wider public. It will also provide a platform for comparison purposes in the future assessments, and help to identify gaps in our understanding.
