To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Answer of 25 April 2014, Official Report, column 717W, on human trafficking, what tailored support is given to victims who have received Conclusive Grounds decisions to integrate into the UK; where such victims came from in January to March 2014; which organisations provide her Department with information on the progress of the victim integration process; and what information her Department holds on how victims have integrated into the UK.
This answer is the replacement for a previous holding answer.

Currently, there is no specific integration package for those who have received
a positive Conclusive Grounds decision and wish to stay in the UK. The
Salvation Army, which delivers the Government's support service for adult
victims of human trafficking, provides support to those victims leaving its
service by facilitating access to mainstream benefits, housing and local
services as well as pastoral support such as assistance with completing
application forms.
Care and support for victims, once they receive a positive Conclusive Grounds
decision is being considered as part of the review of the National Referral
Mechanism and as part of the re-tender of the Government's victim support
service.
