known as the ‘first responder’,
to a ‘competent authority’.

– The Salvation Army – Poppy Project – Migrant Help – Medaille Trust – Kalayaan – Barnados – Unseen – TARA Project (Scotland) – NSPCC (CTAC) – BAWSO – New Pathways
Competent Authorities in the UK
• The UK Human Trafficking Centre
– Deals with referrals from the police, local authorities, and NGOs

seen elsewhere
• Work more closely with GLA and use their
expertise.
The Way Forward
• Strengthen Liaison with Health/Third Sector

• Communication plan and training to raise
awareness in Police Front line.
• Ncalt E-Learning compulsory.
• Appoint Senior Officer as Force Lead

Human Trafficking &
Modern Day Slavery:
The Local Perspectives
Superintendent
Alastair Simpson Cleveland Police
‘Human Trafficking and
domestic servitude – the local
picture’
Superintendent Alastair Simpson
Cleveland Police
A victim’s story
At the age of 16 the victim, an orphan, was sent by
his foster parents to Russia from his home in
Vietnam. He stayed in Russia for 6 years, working
in a restaurant. He was then told he was coming to
the UK, which he was happy about. He travelled to
the UK in a truck with a number of others, in a
journey that lasted several days, arriving in London
in August 2013.
A victim’s story
He was taken to a restaurant and worked as a
waiter and pot washer, and went on to work at a
clothes factory. He was given accommodation but
never paid any money. In May 2014, he was taken
from London to a house in the Cleveland area. He
was given some food and told to look after some
(cannabis) plants. He didn’t leave as he had been
threatened and was told he still owed money to the
males who took him there.
Statistics
3 referrals to UKHTC in 2014
13 pieces of intelligence suggesting possible
involvement of victims or perpetrators in Human
Trafficking, Labour exploitation and domestic
servitude in last 12 months.
37 offences of non-familial child sexual
exploitation in 2013-14
3 arrests for internal trafficking for sexual
exploitation in 2013 (Op. Fibre).
A wider view The Cleveland area has some of the highest
deprivation levels in the country.
Unemployment levels are nearly double the
national average
The proportion of non-UK nationals within the
local population has seen a substantial increase
since 2006.
Teesport is one of the busiest container ports in
the country
In the last 12 months, over 1500 foreign
nationals from nearly 100 different countries of
origin were arrested in Cleveland.
A wider view
Organised criminal gangs have used premises
in Cleveland to run commercial cannabis farms,
using non-UK nationals as ‘farmers’.
The sexual exploitation of children and
vulnerable people takes place in this area.
93 vulnerable people are currently subject to
VEMT groups across Cleveland.
Sex workers are particularly vulnerable due to
abusive relationships, drug and alcohol
dependency
So what?
It is likely that the following aspects of
modern day slavery are taking place in our
area:
Labour exploitation
Sexual exploitation
Domestic Servitude
Internal trafficking
How would a trafficking victim
present?
Signs of self harm
Untreated or neglected injuries
Poor physical condition
Anxiety / hesitation / confusion
Passivity / Obedience – not used to making own
decisions
No ID documents or mobile phone
Can’t speak without controlling person present
Where would a trafficking
victim present?
Fast food restaurants / takeaways
Cannabis farms
Farming, fisheries and building trades
Care homes
Overcrowded housing
Misconceptions
There must be elements of restraint or
physical force.
Trafficked victims are always brought to
the country illegally
Trafficked victims are always foreign
nationals
Trafficking is only perpetrated by
sophisticated organised gangs.
Now what?
Intelligence requirement
Raising awareness
Use the National Referral Mechanism
Increase the skills of our investigators
Safeguarding board focus
Intelligence requirement
Are people being forced into labour, domestic, sexual
exploitation, forced marriage and/or criminal activity?
Who is doing this (lone offenders and/or organised
groups)?
Who are the victims and what nationality/country are
they from?
How are offenders identifying, targeting and controlling
their victims?
Where is this occurring (residential, commercial and/or
other properties and locations)?
How are people being brought into Cleveland or
transported from Cleveland?
The most important thing we can do is to
believe and help the victims of human
trafficking and domestic servitude when
they have the courage to come forward.

transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of
persons, by means of the threat or use of force or
other forms of coercion, or abduction, of fraud, of

“
• Multiple offenders trafficking vulnerable women and girls to
dwellings for the purpose of sexual exploitation. At these
scenes multiple male offenders supply the victims with alcohol
and drugs before subjecting them to serious sexual offences.
• Children and young people are vulnerable solely due to their
age, who also may have additional influences in their lives
that increases their vulnerability have been trafficked from
various locations, including their homes or areas in the
community, and this can also include the residence identified
for them by the Local Authority if they are looked after children
• 'Lone wolf' offenders engaging/ grooming vulnerable women
and girls and then trafficking such victims to venues to be
abused as above. This method has again sometimes involved
a female facilitator encouraging/ transporting the victims.
• Full liaison with the UK Human Trafficking Centre and CEOP.
• Use of a full time, embedded children's social worker.
• Use of two dedicated adult social care workers.
• Use of SCARPA to engage with repeat missing people and those
deemed at risk of Child Sexual Exploitation.
• The Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) attending four weekly complex
case abuse meetings with partners.
• The SIO chairing weekly partnership meetings with senior managers
from Children's Services from Newcastle and Northumberland.
• Partnership working to place six particularly vulnerable victims into

• The use of a partnership strategy which ensured that every potential
victim was subject to an individual, multi agency strategy or
information sharing meeting.
