Project Context and Scope : Survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking may choose to leave the UK and return to their country of origin for a variety of reasons. Some people wish to return home as soon as possible after being identified or leaving their situation of exploitation. Others may choose to return during or at the conclusion of the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) process. Regardless of the reason or method for their return, it is vital that they receive support throughout this process to help them return and reintegrate safely. Support throughout the process can lead to improved protection outcomes, including protection against the risk of being re-trafficked. UK support providers, including government and non-government organizations, play a key role in preparing survivors for return and assisting them to access reintegration services and other forms of support in their countries of origin. However, potential areas for improvement have been identified among voluntary return support providers in the UK, including how risks are assessed and managed; the quality and consistency of information provided on support available in countries of return; understanding barriers to accessing services; and how to ensure procedures for contact / referrals are clear and consistent This project seeks to increase the capacity of organizations to improve voluntary return and reintegration outcomes for survivors of modern slavery returning from the UK. One of the key activities of this project is to develop service directories of available services which can support returning survivors reintegrate into their countries of return. Such directories were already developed for five key countries of return (Albania, Brazil, China, India and Pakistan) in the first phase of the project, available to download from the project webpage . For the second phase of the project, these existing service directories will be updated and expanded, and new service directories will be created for two additional countries : Romania and Viet Nam exercise and create / expand the service directories. In particular, the consultant will identify and record assistance services available for returning potential and confirmed survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery in Pakistan. The target audience will be potential or confirmed victims of human trafficking and modern slavery from Pakistan who are in the UK and have expressed an interest in returning home, as well as the UK-based organizations who are providing them with support pre-departure to help them understand the information and make referrals where appropriate.
