Child Trafficking Advice Centre (CTAC) overview
Episode 3, Apr 08, 2019, 04:33 AM
Our Child Trafficking Advice Centre (CTAC) team talks about providing a specialist service to professionals worried that a child may be a victim of trafficking.
Established in 2007, the NSPCC’s Child Trafficking Advice Centre (CTAC) team provide free advice, training and guidance to professionals concerned that a child or young person has been, or is about to be, trafficked into or out of the UK.
In this podcast episode Ali talks to four members of the team: Mandy John-Baptiste, Service head of CTAC, Martina Murray, Assistant team manager, and Charlotte Jamieson and Sylvia Vuong who are social workers.
Mandy, Martina, Charlotte and Sylvia provide us with an overview of CTAC's work and explain why children and young people are trafficked and the ways in which they are exploited. They also discuss the “tricks” child traffickers employ to control and isolate children and young people and what professionals should do if they suspect a child might have been trafficked.
We also hear about the child’s voice and the part this plays in shaping the essential service CTAC provides.
