On 23rd March 2007 the Home Office and the Scottish Government jointly launched the UK Action Plan on Tackling Human Trafficking. Human trafficking is a serious and often highly organized crime in which people, including children, are traded as commodities, for sexual exploitation, forced labour or other forms of exploitation. The Action Plan set out the Government strategy to tackle this abhorrent practice.

At the time of publication we gave a public commitment that it would be a "living" document that would be updated regularly with actions being added or removed as new priorities were identified and actions completed. We are doing just that by launching a revised plan on 2 July 2008 that contains updates on each of the main areas of the plan, including some additional actions.

It also contains the latest developments in our drive towards ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings, which we intend to ratify later this year.
