There is no formal inspection process relating to section 52 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (MSA). The Home Office works closely with a range of partners to increase awareness of public authorities’ responsibilities under the MSA and as part of the National Referral Mechanism reforms announced by Home Office Ministers in October 2017 we will be reviewing the role of first responders.
