The Government takes this issue seriously, which is why we commissioned private advice from the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner. His advice has informed the significant work we have undertaken over recent months. This includes offering over 70 experts to support the hotspot response, funding psycho-social support to refugees and migrants on the Greek islands, funding training, accommodation and a scaled-up counter-trafficking response in Italy, and funding more effective case management support in Greece.
