This training will explore the realities of MSHT and the impacts on people who experience exploitation. We will look at the UK process for identifying and supporting potential victims, and the roles and responsibilities of statutory agencies within this. Further, we will seek to understand pre-trafficking vulnerabilities and barriers to disclosure, and how, as frontline professionals, we are able to respond appropriately in a trauma-informed way in order to do no further harm to survivors.

We will also launch the new Victim Referral Pathway for Barnsley Council. This tool will ensure there is a clear and consistent route to refer adult victims for support in this area. It will bring a better understanding for professionals on how to do this; and most importantly, the adequate support will be ready and available when needed.
