The South East Strategic Partnership for Migration (SESPM) is working with the charity STOP THE TRAFFIK to deliver four regional training seminars in March 2012 covering:
- Hampshire and Isle of Wight
- Kent and Medway
- Surrey and Sussex
- Thames Valley
This training is free.
Men, women, and children are being tricked and forced into exploitation in the South East. They are trafficked from one community into another. Local professionals and residents need to know:
- What human trafficking is
- How it affects them and their communities
- What it looks like and who to tell
- How they can work with their communities to tackle it
Each training seminar will address:
- Human trafficking: the definition and distinctions, scale and stories, types and signs, and the regional situation
- Tackling trafficking: international obligations and national responses, prosecution, protection, and prevention, national and local referrals
- Community action: existing regional initiatives, examples from activists, and developing local action plans
The government has identified key audiences that need to receive this kind of training. If you are one of the following:
- Local authority or social worker
- Community police officer
- Health practitioner
- Education provider
- Housing provider
- Probation officer
- Immigration officer
- Migrant organisation
- Community group
- Homelessness charity
