ALL victims of Child Trafficking should be seen as a child protection concern and should be treated as such with statutory services.
This is everyone’s responsibility and the responsibility of children’s services, community and voluntary providers, education services, community safety and health provision to respond to trafficked children.
Please refer to the Barnardo's child trafficking information  and the Barnardo's child trafficking referral for more details.
