Justice & Care celebrated a major win in the first half of 2025, with cuckooing set to become a specific crime in the UK, following years of campaigning from our team. In Romania, we also achieved a significant policy change, with the state set to fund the salaries of modern slavery survivors who are re-entering work after exploitation for 18 months. Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, our Victim Identification guidelines are already helping to uncover hundreds more victims, the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) software we have helped the government develop is now in live piloting, and our work is reshaping survivor care in government shelter homes.
