Help us IDENTIFY and NOTIFY as we release this new national certification training program.
Many children and teens are not correctly IDENTIFIED as victims of trafficking, thus the appropriate NOTIFICATION is not initiated for the care programs they require. There must be awareness and training that empowers care givers, law enforcement, child service providers, foster families and other professionals with the training and tools to correctly IDENTIFY and NOTIFY the victims of this atrocity.
This full certification program develops strategies and actions in the following areas.
- Who determines a child has been trafficked?
- What reactions do I look for when I suspect a child is exploited?
- How do I identify a trafficked child from a runaway, throwaway, abused or neglected child?
- What do I do with trafficked children after they are rescued?
- What problems do I encounter as rescuers?
- Why are trafficked children wrongly identified?
