Outcomes for Children affected by Trafficking

This 12-month study sought to identify ways that the current support system could be improved to ensure better outcomes for young people who have experienced human trafficking, modern slavery and/or exploitation. It was conducted by the Helena Kennedy Centre at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, the Institute of Applied Social Ï㽶ÊÓƵ at the University of Bedfordshire (UoB) and Every Child Protected Against Trafficking (ECPAT UK).

The final report detailing the findings of the research and a tailored framework, anchored in the words of young people, in the form of a Positive Outcomes Framework are now available below

Key outputs from the research:

The overarching aim of this study was to understand what positive outcomes might look like from the perspective of young people subjected to human trafficking, modern slavery and/or exploitation, and what pathways towards these positive outcomes might look like in practice. This was conducted through an international scoping review, a global call for practice and participatory workshops with young people.
