Updated: Updated referral form for England added.
This interim guidance will support and enable the establishment of Independent Child Trafficking Advocates in 3 early adopter sites (Greater Manchester, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and Wales) from 30 January 2017.
The guidance identifies the ICTAs respective roles and responsibilities as well as those of the public authorities and other related agencies who work with trafficked children within the early adopter sites.
This guidance is published under Section 49 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will provide the framework required for both the ICTA and the early adopter sites to function, enabling the service to be implemented effectively.
