Enabling early
identification of trafficked children and supporting quicker and better
protection
The ‘Trafficked Children Toolkit’ was developed by the
London Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB). It is designed to assist
professionals and volunteers across all agencies and NGOs who are involved in
safeguarding or promoting the welfare of trafficked and/or exploited children.
The toolkit has been incorporated in ‘Working Together to
Safeguard Children’, the statutory UK child protection guidance published by
the Department for Education and has been endorsed in the UK government’s
strategy on human trafficking (Human Trafficking: The Government’s Strategy).
The toolkit aims to help practitioners:
1. Identify and assess the needs of children who
are suspected of being trafficked and the ongoing risks they may face
2. Understand how to refer cases to the competent
authority and other relevant agencies
The Toolkit is recognised as best practice amongst many
professionals working with trafficked children.
Philip Ishola, lead chair of the LSCB Child Trafficking
Group and chair of the LSCB 2012 Olympics (safe games for children) Group was
instrumental in the development of the Trafficked Children Toolkit.
The Treehouse Project is pleased to be hosting FREE training
by Philip Ishola on ‘Identifying and Supporting Child Victims of Human
Trafficking’
The training will be taking place in Bath on Friday 26th
October and is open to all professionals
and volunteers who may be involved in identifying, safeguarding or supporting trafficked
children.
The day will run from 10am-2pm and will include a free lunch
with an opportunity to network with people from other organisations.
