Children's Society research uncovers child trafficking
Participatory research by The Children's Society on children who abused whilst in private foster care arrangements, has found the majority were child victims of trafficking. The report, Hidden Children - separated children at risk, includes recommendations for practitioners and decision-makers based on the views of hidden children themselves.
Hidden children are defined as migrants under 18 years old who are separated from their
usual carers and are exploited or otherwise mistreated by the people who are
responsible for them in the UK.
A grant was made to The Children's Society through the open programme to part-fund this research.
