Human Trafficking

The Assembly:

Notes incidences of human trafficking throughout Wales and acknowledges actions taken by the Welsh Government.

Calls on the Welsh Government to:

Take the lead on implementing further action on an All-Wales basis in order to develop consistency ensuring agencies across Wales work to the highest standards.

• Establish an All-Wales Human Trafficking Group to develop an integrated approach to ALL victims of trafficking, incorporating devolved and non-devolved agencies;

• Establish a Welsh National Referral Mechanism, ensuring referrals and decisions are made within Wales and trafficked persons are supported and cared for at the local level whenever in their best interests.
