Date issued: 15 June 2023

Subject: Budgets specifically for anti-trafficking activities

Question(s):
1. Budgets/funding or any other resources directly allocated by the Authority towards anti-trafficking activities and/or activities to combat ‘modern slavery' in 2021 (6 April 2021 – 5 April 2022) and 2022 (6 April 2022 – 5 April 2023) financial years (for example, dedicated projects, anti-trafficking operations, members of staff, information campaigns etc.) and what these activities are.

2. If available, a copy of the organisational strategy or any other document which sets out what actions are to be taken by the Authority to combat trafficking in human beings and/or ‘modern slavery’ as mandated by the UK Modern Slavery Act (2015).

Response:
1. We do not allocate a budget/funding directly to anti-trafficking activities nor do we separate out any specific cases/colleagues working on an anti-trafficking case. However, under our duty to assist (section 16), we would direct you to our Annual Report and Accounts publicly available here: ARA - Corporate Publications - GLAA.

2. The GLAA publishes it’s organisational strategies on our website here: Corporate Publications - Strategic and Business plan. As this information is in the public domain and therefore is reasonably accessible by other means. This question is exempt under section 21 (1) of the FOIA.
