Dear Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner,

Please address the following in relation to modern-day slavery:

Please explain the assessment process of the referrals within the Modern Slavery Unit based with the National Crime Agency and what qualifications are held by the staff within the unit to be able to decide on the referrals received.
