- Draft legislation
This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a UK Statutory Instrument: The Slavery and Human Trafficking (Definition of Victim) Regulations 2022 No. 877
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations define the terms “victim of slavery” and “victim of human trafficking” for the purposes of Part 5 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022.
Regulation 2 defines “victim of slavery” and, for those purposes, “slavery”, “servitude” and “forced or compulsory labour” have the same meaning as they have for the purposes of Article 4 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Regulation 3 defines “victim of human trafficking” and, for those purposes, sets out the methods by which trafficking may occur. It also defines “exploitation” for those purposes.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
