When MSVCC support ends

When a person supported through the Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract (MSVCC) receives a conclusive grounds (CG) decision, arrangements will be made for their support to end.

Positive conclusive grounds decisions

A person who receives a positive conclusive grounds (CG) decision should receive a further 45-day move-on period before support ends.

Before support is ended, the support provider should carry out a recovery needs assessment to determine whether an extension of support is required.

Support may be extended where:

  • the person has ongoing recovery needs arising from their experiences of trafficking or modern slavery
  • the person is involved in ongoing legal or immigration proceedings and continued support is necessary to enable their engagement and recovery

Further information on recovery needs assessments is available in the government guidance.

Negative conclusive grounds decisions

A person who receives a negative conclusive grounds (CG) decision should receive up to 14 days' move-on support before support ends.

Where support is ending, the person should be given advice about any alternative support that may be available. This may include:

Before MSVCC support ends, the provider should also consider whether a referral to adult social care or children's social care is required.

If an adult appears to have care and support needs, or a person has dependent children in their care, a referral should be made to the relevant local authority for an assessment. See our information on:
