Freedom of Information request reference number:  NY09866 

I write in connection with your request for information that was received by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, Policing, Fire and Crime Team (PFC) on the 9th August. 

Question/ Request:  

I would like to know where the people who have been involved in Human Trafficking are from originally (That have been arrested and charged in the UK) Under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 Period 2020-2025. 

Secondly victims, where is their original country and their ages Period 2020-2025. 

I do realise that this is sensitive data, and I do not want to know their address, just the country they are from, as I am compiling a list of countries that these crimes originate and the question has never been answered. 

As I am sure this is a very delicate topic and I appreciate your views and discretion but would like comments on the current situation please in the UK, additionally what are the thoughts as a force in the UK
