Summary
In this report, we call on the UK Government to ensure there is a comprehensive and coherent national child-rights-based system for children who are victims of trafficking. The report is based on the standards for good practice with respect to the protection of and assistance to trafficked children set out in the UNICEF Guidelines on the Protection of the Child Victims of Trafficking. These Guidelines are based on international human rights instruments and look at the protection of trafficked children from their identification up to their recovery and integration. The aim of these Guidelines is to assist governments and state actors, international organisations and NGOs or other service providers.
