Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has to roll out the Independent Child Trafficking Advocate scheme nationally.

The Minister for State for Crime, Safeguarding and Vulnerability announced on 26 October that this Government remains committed to rolling out Independent Child Trafficking Advocates (ICTAs) nationally.

That is why we have implemented ICTAs in three Early Adopter Sites (Greater Manchester, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and nationally in Wales) in order to make sure we implement the right model which best supports the specific and diverse needs of these incredibly vulnerable children.
