Details

The Independent Child Trafficking Guardians (ICTG) Service was introduced in three early adopter sites: Greater Manchester, Hampshire and Isle of Wight and nationally in Wales. The evaluation was conducted by the Home Office and the University of Bedfordshire.

The report considers the ‘added value’ of the original model of the ICTG service which provided one-to-one ICTG support for all children. A total of 445 children were referred to the ICTG service during the two years. A little over half of the children referred to the Service were aged between 16 or 17 and around two-thirds were male. British Children were the most common nationality referred to the Service and had been mainly subject to criminal or sexual exploitation.
