Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (Duty to Notify) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/1743) to correct minor drafting defects.

The Regulations specify that, where the principal victim to whom the notification relates has given their consent or is under the age of 18, no further consent is required from the suspected perpetrators or other suspected victims of those same perpetrators for a public authority to provide the information listed in Schedule 2. The Regulations also remove duplication in one sub-paragraph in Schedule 1.
