Breaking the wall of silence: practitioners’ responses to trafficked children and young people (PDF, 1.05MB)
reveals the complexities involved in identifying and responding to the needs of children and young people who have been trafficked into and within the UK. It argues that trafficking is a process, not a one-off event.
Trafficking is often hidden behind a wall of silence with children and young people on one side, afraid or unable to talk, and practitioners on the other, finding it hard to identify the child or young person, respond to their needs or prosecute their abusers.
The research gives insight into how practitioners have worked with and sometimes overcome these problems while maintaining the child’s best interests.
The research was conducted by researchers at the University of Bedfordshire and the NSPCC, jointly managed by the University of Bedfordshire and the NSPCC, and principally funded through The Children’s Charity.
