Independent Child Trafficking Guardians (ICTGs) are an independent source of advice for all trafficked children and somebody who can speak up on their behalf. To establish an appropriate model of delivery, ICTGs have been launched in six Early Adopter Sites (Greater Manchester; Hampshire and the Isle of Wight; Wales; West Midlands Combined Authority; East Midlands and the London Borough of Croydon).The purpose of this grant is to enable the ICTG Service to continue in these six Early Adopter Sites until March 2021 to maintain support for vulnerable children, whilst the Home Office considers future provision in-line with the recommendations from the Independent Review of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and learning from the evaluations of the Early Adopter Sites.
