(1) This section applies where an application under section 15 (“the main
application”) has not been determined.

(2) 10An application for an interim slavery and trafficking prevention order—

(a) may be made by the complaint by which the main application is made,
or

(b) if the main application has been made, may be made by the person who
has made that application, by complaint to the court to which that
15application has been made.

(3) The court may, if it considers it just to do so, make an interim slavery and
trafficking prevention order.

(4) An interim slavery and trafficking prevention order is an order which
prohibits the defendant from doing anything described in the order.

(5) 20The order may prohibit the defendant from doing things in any part of the
United Kingdom, and anywhere outside the United Kingdom.

(6) The order may (as well as imposing prohibitions on the defendant) require the
defendant to comply with subsections (3) to (6) of section 19.

If it does, those subsections apply as if references to a slavery and trafficking
25prevention order were to an interim slavery and trafficking prevention order.

(7) The order—

(a) has effect only for a fixed period, specified in the order;

(b) ceases to have effect, if it has not already done so, on the determination
of the main application.

the interim slavery and trafficking prevention order for the order to be varied,
renewed or discharged.

22 Appeals

(1) A defendant may appeal against the making of a slavery and trafficking
35prevention order—

(a) where the order was made under section 14(1)(a), as if the order were a
sentence passed on the defendant for the offence;

(b) where the order was made under section 14(1)(b) or (c), as if the
defendant had been convicted of the offence and the order were a
40sentence passed on the defendant for the offence;

(c) where the order was made on an application under section 15, to the
Crown Court.

(2) A defendant may appeal to the Crown Court against the making of an interim
slavery and trafficking prevention order.

(4) On an appeal under subsection (1)(c), (2) or (3)(b), the Crown Court may make
such orders as may be necessary to give effect to its determination of the
appeal, and may also make such incidental or consequential orders as appear
to it to be just.

(5) 10Any order made by the Crown Court on an appeal under subsection (1)(c) or
(2) is for the purposes of section 20(10) or 21(8) (respectively) to be treated as if
it were an order of the court from which the appeal was brought.

(6) Subsection (5) does not apply to an order directing that an application be re-
heard by a magistrates’ court.

person (“the defendant”) on an application by—

(a) a chief officer of police,

(b) 20an immigration officer, or

(c) the Director General of the National Crime Agency (“the Director
General”).

(2) The court may make the order only if it is satisfied that the defendant has acted
in a way which means that—

(a) 25there is a risk that the defendant will commit a slavery or human
trafficking offence, and

(b) it is necessary to make the order for the purpose of protecting persons
generally, or particular persons, from the physical or psychological
harm which would be likely to occur if the defendant committed such
30an offence.

under this section, the officer or the Director General must give notice of the
application to the chief officer of police for a relevant police area.

24 Effect of slavery and trafficking risk orders

(1) A slavery and trafficking risk order is an order which prohibits the defendant
from doing anything described in the order.

(2) 15The only prohibitions that may be included in the order are those which the
court is satisfied are necessary for the purpose of protecting persons generally,
or particular persons, from the physical or psychological harm which would be
likely to occur if the defendant committed a slavery or human trafficking
offence.

(3) 20The order may prohibit the defendant from doing things in any part of the
United Kingdom, and anywhere outside the United Kingdom.

(4) Subject to section 25(1), a prohibition contained in a slavery and trafficking risk
order has effect—

(a) for a fixed period, specified in the order, of at least 2 years, or

(b) 25until further order.

(5) A slavery and trafficking risk order—

(a) may specify that some of its prohibitions have effect until further order
and some for a fixed period;

(b) may specify different periods for different prohibitions.

(6) 30Where a court makes a slavery and trafficking risk order in relation to a person
who is already subject to such an order (whether made by that court or
another), the earlier order ceases to have effect.

(b) a prohibition on travelling to any country outside the United Kingdom
40other than a country named or described in the order, or

(3) Subsection (1) does not prevent a prohibition on foreign travel from being
extended for a further period (of no more than 5 years each time) under section
27.

(4) A slavery and trafficking risk order that contains a prohibition within
5subsection (2)(c) must require the defendant to surrender all of the defendant’s
passports at a police station specified in the order—

(a) on or before the date when the prohibition takes effect, or

(b) within a period specified in the order.

(5) Any passports surrendered must be returned as soon as reasonably practicable
10after the person ceases to be subject to a slavery and trafficking risk order
containing a prohibition within subsection (2)(c).

(a) a passport issued by or on behalf of the authorities of a country outside
the United Kingdom if the passport has been returned to those
15authorities;

(b) a passport issued by or on behalf of an international organisation if the
passport has been returned to that organisation.

26 Requirement to provide name and address

(1) A slavery and trafficking risk order may (as well as imposing prohibitions on
20the defendant) require the defendant to comply with subsections (3) to (6).

(2) It may do so only if the court is satisfied that the requirement is necessary for
the purpose of protecting persons generally, or particular persons, from the
physical or psychological harm which would be likely to occur if the defendant
committed a slavery or human trafficking offence.

(3) 25Before the end of the period of 3 days beginning with the day on which a
slavery and trafficking risk order requiring the defendant to comply with
subsections (3) to (6) is first served the defendant must, in the way specified in
the order, notify the person specified in the order of the relevant matters.

(4) The relevant matters are—

(a) 30the defendant’s name and, where the defendant uses one or more other
names, each of those names, and

(b) the defendant’s home address.

(5) If while the defendant is subject to the order the defendant—

the defendant must, in the way specified in the order, notify the person
specified in the order of the new name or the new home address.

(6) The notification must be given before the end of the period of 3 days beginning
with the day on which the defendant uses the name or changes home address.
