Fewer potential slavery victims were referred to Nottinghamshire Police last year, new figures show – despite a record high across the UK.

The Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre said the statistics show the "harsh reality" of modern slavery with thousands of people trapped and exploited in harsh conditions.

Recent Home Office figures show 201 potential victims of modern slavery – which includes any form of human trafficking, slavery, servitude or forced labour – were referred to Nottinghamshire Police in 2023.

It was down from 209 referrals the year before.
