The Government is committed to ensuring the support of potential and confirmed victims of modern slavery.

Section 98 asylum accommodation provides temporary, generally full board accommodation. This provides in-kind support provisions to meet the individual’s essential living needs.

Individuals with a positive reasonable grounds decision and have consented to Victim Care Contract (VCC) support, who are also asylum seekers in section 98 accommodation will receive essential support services from a VCC support worker who can provide specialist support and advocacy services to help assist victims to rebuild their lives.
