Depaul Key findings of Depaul report launch: Only one homeless service had received training. There is a need and an appetite for training for the homeless sector, an online toolkit.

Depaul All speakers at the Depaul Report launch emphasise how vital joined-up-thinking and a collaborative response is to address the issue of #humantrafficking & #Homelessness

Depaul Apparently The Passage have a philosophy 'if it's useful nick it' 🤭. And in that vein here is the link to their toolkit on HT and Homelessness passage.org.uk/get-informed/m…

Key findings of Depaul report launch: 93% of homeless services involved in the study did not have policies & procedures on working with victims of #HumanTrafficking . Niamh Thornton urges homeless services to link with Depaul as they consider this finding

Depaul At Depaul report launch Kevin Hyland OBE, LL.M flags that 1-in-5 or 3,400 victims of trafficking referred to the NRM in the UK are victims of #ChildTrafficking . Similarly 4,000 victims are British. Neither of these cohorts are identified to the same extent in Ireland.

Derek Maguire from An Garda Síochána tells Depaul report launch that we need to improve identification of victims of #ChildTrafficking . 'We are not identifying them'. The system remains #ChildBlind .

Depaul Unfortunately female victims of trafficking #WithChildren are not eligible to access Rosa's Place -only Trafficking-specific shelter. Disappointing in view of Nusha Yonkova's statistics that a quarter of victims of trafficking in Direct Provision have children. #NeedsAttention

Depaul Nusha Yonkova Asked about 'Next Steps?' Depaul report launch, both Nusha Yonkova & Kevin Hyland OBE, LL.M underscore the need for a greater response to #ChildTrafficking for #ChildCriminalExploitation . The 3rd Irish Human Rights & Equality Commission trafficking report - due Autumn 2024 - will devote space to this issue.
