The Prevention of Child Trafficking and Exploitation report synthesises key findings from research conducted between 2020 and 2024, offering a comprehensive framework to tackle child trafficking and exploitation.
It introduces the BETR Prevention Continuum, emphasising prevention at multiple stages – before harm, early intervention, treatment, and preventing re-trafficking.
The report highlights significant vulnerabilities among children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, and those navigating complex systems like immigration and social care.
Recommendations include improving multi-agency collaboration, survivor-informed approaches, and addressing systemic barriers. It calls for trauma-informed methods, cultural competence, and innovative research to enhance policy and practice, aiming to create safer environments and support systems for children at risk.
