NRM Pathways Pilot Project
Help for Survivors of Modern Slavery
The NRM Pathways Pilot Project
This project integrates the services that are currently provided by the Salvation Army with long term wrap-around support for clients within their local communities.
Pathway workers will provide help and support to survivors of Modern Slavery who are exiting National Referral Mechanism (NRM) support.

- Financial pressures
- Securing adequate housing
- Securing benefit entitlement
- Dealing with DWP sanctions
- Conclusive grounds documentation
- Appeals against negative decisions
- Discretionary leave applications
- Maintaining links with detective working their case
- Securing legal and paid work
- Obtaining bank accounts
- Intervening in Home Office disputes
- Voluntary return applications
- Giving evidence/statements against perpetrators
- Pending court cases and attending trial
- Accessing health provision including midwifery services
- Accessing mental health services and emotional/psychological support services
- Substance misuse

It's exactly one year since 39 people were found dead in the back of a lorry in Essex. It was a real shock but don't think for one minute that this trafficking practice has stopped.
