2014/2015      
2. How many people were convicted of Modern Slavery/Human Trafficking offences as a                        
result of a police investigation in 2014/2015                                  
Response 
 
Please refer to attached table plus accompanying caveats for the CPS Kent Force Area. The data shows the number of offences of human trafficking in which a prosecution commenced recorded during 2014-15 and the number of flagged defendant prosecutions, by outcome, in the same period. The Modern Slavery Act did not come into force until 31 July 2015; therefore there are no offences under that legislation for the period you have requested. The CPS does not hold data relating to police investigations. This part of your request should be directed to Kent police; https://www.kent.police.uk/contact-us/
