The National Referral Mechanism (NRM) is the UK’s system for identifying and providing access to support for potential victims of modern slavery/human trafficking.
The Home Office publishes quarterly statistics regarding the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) which can be found at on gov.uk.
The 2021 UK Annual Report on Modern Slavery has recently been published and can also be found on gov.uk, as well as statistics on immigration outcomes including figures for grants of discretionary leave.
Statistics on the immigration status and immigration outcomes for victims of modern slavery/human trafficking are not currently published.
