The purpose of this guidance, from Scottish Borders, is to support an effective and robust response to any adult and child potential victim of trafficking, to ensure they receive the support they are entitled to, are protected and able to recover from their experience. The guidance includes a comprehensive definition of human trafficking and details of the relevant legislation. There is also a series of appendices setting out the roles and responsibilities of different agencies involved.
Scottish Borders have published an accompanying learning report that shares their experience of improving the response to human trafficking in their local authority. There are also learning materials - a powerpoint presentation and an accompanying quiz - that can be used in training.
