These proposed standards aim to improve service provision by ensuring that adult survivors of trafficking consistently receive high quality care wherever they are in the UK. This booklet intends to provide a flexible framework with guiding principles and practical recommendations that support agencies can incorporate into their own existing policies and procedures.

Its ultimate goal is to promote an integrated, holistic and empowering approach that places the real needs of survivors at the centre of the process of sustained recovery. The hope is that service providers will benefit from the consolidated experience of other agencies and, as a result of this, be more effective in their front-line work.
