Part 5: Modern Slavery Section 62: No entitlement to additional recovery period etc.
Overview: This section provides that only one period of recovery will be provided to a potential victim, unless the Secretary of State considers it appropriate to provide a further period of protection from removal in the particular circumstances of the case, or unless the further instance of exploitation occurred after the previous reasonable grounds decision.
	Background: The Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (ECAT) provides that once there are reasonable grounds (RG) to believe a person has been a victim of trafficking, states have obligations to that person (such person being a "potential victim"). These obligations last until someone is determined to be a confirmed victim or not to be a victim., and for a minimum of 30 days.
	During this time, states are obliged to authorise persons to stay in their territory and provide potential victims with support to aid their recovery, unless disqualifications apply. Section 60 will bring these obligations into domestic legislation. Section 61 seeks to set out the disqualification from an additional recovery period, where additional recovery periods are not needed.
	This section provides that additional recovery periods will only be granted in certain cases.
	Subsection 1 provides that a person who has previously been identified as a potential victim of modern slavery or human trafficking, and as such benefitted from a recovery period, may not be entitled to a further recovery period if they bring forward further grounds to be treated as a potential victim and those matters occurred wholly before the previous decision.
	Subsection 2 provides for discretion to enable a competent authority to protect the individual from removal from the UK during the additional 30-day recovery period or until the further Conclusive Grounds decision is made, if later.
