New Human Trafficking Resources Released
SchoolSafety.gov was created by the federal government to provide schools and districts with actionable recommendations to create safe and supportive learning environments for students and educators. A new resource guide helps school understand the role they can play in identifying potential victims while offering best practices for response.
Analyst Comments:
Schools are uniquely positioned to support sudents facing human trafficking and exploitation. Because of the regular interaction between educators and students, school personnel can help identify and report suspected cases of trafficking and connect affected students to critical services. There are several strategies school leaders, staff, and districts can implement to help identify, prevent, and respond to human tracking including:
- Create a safe and supportive school environment
- Increase awareness and education
- Develop and implement prevention and response plans
Members are encouraged to review the SchoolSafety.gov site for additional resources.
