Section 52 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 places a duty on specified public authorities to notify the Secretary of State where there are reasonable grounds to believe that a person may be a victim of slavery or human trafficking. These Regulations specify the information which must be provided under the duty to notify the Secretary of State. Schedule 1 to the Regulations lists the information which must ordinarily be provided for all victims. Schedule 2 to the Regulations lists additional information which must be provided where the victim is under the age of 18 or where the person has consented.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
