This 2010 Strategic Threat Assessment aims to deliver on CEOP’s continuing commitment to examine the latest picture of child trafficking in the UK. It offers a more detailed analysis of the findings published in the 2009-2010 CEOP Strategic Overview released in November 2010, where 287 children were identified as potentially trafficked in the 12 month period from March 2009 to February 2010. By gathering tactical information from frontline agencies across the UK, CEOP has been able to: a) further assess the strategic national trends; b) inform police, UKBA, children’s services, partner Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and the wider community to help deliver a better response to the identification and protection of children; and c) aid the prevention and prosecution of those who seek to exploit children. To do this, partnerships between agencies are required to share information, best practice and co-ordinate an appropriate response. Extract from the executive summary: ** A total of 287 children from 47 countries were identified as potential victims of trafficking. Most were from Vietnam (58), Nigeria (40), China (24) and a significant number of Roma children (32) were also identified. ** Where the type of exploitation was identified (219 cases), 35% (76) of children were sexually exploited, most of whom were female. 18% (39) were exploited for cannabis cultivation, 11% (25) were exploited for domestic servitude, 11% (23) for benefit fraud, 9% (19) for labour exploitation, 9% (20) for street crime, 4% (8) for servile marriage, 2% (4) for illegal adoption and 2% (5) for various other types of exploitation ** The number of potential victims of trafficking who go missing from local authority provided care continues to be a major theme. Sixty-seven per cent (28) were Vietnamese nationals and 17% (7) were Chinese. A number of Vietnamese children who went missing were rediscovered in cannabis factories. Local authority provided care is sometimes failing to prevent victims returning to exploitation, although there are cases where supportive care has prevented this. ** Vietnamese and Roma children are often treated as offenders (for cannabis production and street crime offences respectively) rather than potential victims of trafficking.
