Prevention

There are three key areas of preventative work identified within the UK Action Plan on Tackling Human Trafficking. These are increasing our knowledge and understanding of the problem, working to identify and address the issues that impact on the supply and demand sides of human trafficking, and finally maximising the collective preventative effort.

The Centre contributes to work in all these areas, through its multi agency work groups;

• Research
• Prevention
• Operations and Intelligence

The UKHTC is the central point for the collation of data information and intelligence on all forms of trafficking, thereby striving to improve the local, national and international knowledge base on human trafficking.
