Identification of the children victims of human trafficking 4 France UK

Malfunctions of the French system 5  Lack of detailed statistics  Difficulties to monitor and analyse trends  Delays concerning the implementation of the national plan against human trafficking, absence of funding  Lack of training for frontline professionals  Absence of an automatic designation of a guardian for the children victims  Absence of protected places and an organized relocation system  Failure of the identification mechanism and lack of an access to a status specific for the children victims of human trafficking  A lot of minors victims continue to be sentenced and put in jail.

Recommendations 6  Collect, centralize data on the phenomenon of forced criminality in order to have coherent policy  Establish regular training for associative stakeholders, police forces, guardians, judges, public prosecutors on child protection, human trafficking  Systemize the referral of any situation of immediate danger, or human trafficking presumption concerning a child  Improve information sharing

Recommendations 7  Respect the non-sanction clause present in the international texts  Assignment of a guardian who should accompany the minor during the whole process  Build a relationship of trust and facilitate adhesion to a customized assistance project / Provide timely assistance  Partnership with the national education system

Recommendations 8  Respect the minority presumption in case of doubts  Unconditional protection of the minors  Adapted protection for the minors  End the practice to send the minors in jail by default, for their “protection”  Favor educational measures in the best interest of the child

Example of Protocol applied in Paris 9  Creation of a referral system in Paris area Stakeholders : Police forces (BPM), public prosecutor , juvenile judge, associations, local child protection services (ASE), youth protection services (PJJ), general council  Network of protected facilities ready to provide shelter specifically focused on the needs and safety of the child (in construction)
