A Scoping Study into the Nature and Extent of Child Trafficking in Scotland Summary: Children who are affected form a particularly vulnerable group, with additional needs that cannot be met without first establishing a clearer picture of the nature and extent of the phenomenon. This underscores the essential need for this scoping exercise of child trafficking into, within and possibly out of Scotland. It is only by identifying the children who are suspected of being trafficked; their country of origin; their age, gender, locations within Scotland; the nature of the activity for which they have been trafficked; and how they were identified and subsequently supported that an appropriate response can be developed. The absence of information as to why a child is giving cause for concern does not, of course relieve any individual from making a child protection response. This scoping study on the extent and nature of child trafficking in Scotland was commissioned by Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Young People (SCCYP). The purpose of the study was to provide the Commissioner with an understanding of child trafficking which would allow his office to make recommendations for policy, practice and legislative change and to use the results to raise awareness, among professionals and key stakeholders, of child trafficking.

Author: Scotland. Equality and Human Rights Commission Title: Inquiry into Human Trafficking in Scotland Summary: The Commission undertook to inquire into the nature and extent of human trafficking in Scotland focusing mainly, but not exclusively, on trafficking for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation. Other main purposes such as forced labour, domestic servitude and criminal exploitation were also investigated. The Commission also sought to inquire into the factors that give rise to human trafficking in Scotland. The role played by demand for cheap and exploitable labour, particularly relating to commercial sexual exploitation, along with push factors such as poverty and inequality in source countries, was therefore central to the Inquiry. The Inquiry further considered how policy and practice in Scotland compared to international anti-trafficking obligations, particularly in relation to: The investigation, prosecution, and monitoring of traffickers; The identification and treatment of victims; The extent and quality of statutory and specialist services and accommodation for victims. Finally, the Inquiry sought to identify good practice, particularly in relation to prevention and prohibition of trafficking, prosecution of traffickers, and protection of victims. The Inquiry’s findings led to a series of recommendations detailed within this report. These recommendations, aimed at the various institutions and agencies with a role to play in tackling human trafficking in Scotland, are designed to help prevent human trafficking and improve responses to it. The Inquiry also suggests that institutions and agencies have regard to two other recent reports on trafficking in Scotland. These are the report in December 2010 of the previous Equal Opportunities Committee, ‘Inquiry into Migration and Trafficking’, and ‘Scotland: a safe place for child traffickers’ by Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Young People, published in March 2011.

Author: Malloch, Margaret Title: Care and Support for Adult Victims of Trafficking in Human Beings: A Review Summary: This evidence and practice review was commissioned by the Scottish Government to examine the care and support needs of victims of human trafficking and what works to meet those needs. This review is not an evaluation; rather it provides an overview of the identified care and support needs of victims of different forms of human trafficking exploitation; considers good practice in recent adult victim care by identifying different models of care and support in a range of jurisdictions; and considers the extent to which existing evidence is able to provide an indication of what works to meet the needs of different victims. The review also aims to consider how effectively the needs of different adult victims of trafficking are met in Scotland, on the basis of review of international evidence; and to highlight any existing gaps in services and support provision. While acknowledging the interconnection of other issues such as provision of compensation and repatriation, this review is limited to the provision of crisis and short to mid term care and support services. The review is based on an extensive search of local, national and international documentary data including research reports, evaluations, practice guides, policy documents and website data collection. Until recently, the main sources of information on trafficking came from reports produced by international organisations and Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), often reporting on their experiences in practice and focused upon outlining the extent and nature of trafficking. More recently, attention has been given to the support and protection of trafficking victims. However, as this review highlights, there is a distinct lack of evidence-based data which provides a basis from which the most appropriate and/or cost-effective interventions can be determined.
