Questionnaire Child Trafficking in the NEIC Dublin

The ICON Community Response to Child and Human Trafficking Working Group is currently developing an animation about the experiences of young people and their families being trafficked/ recruited into criminality.

This survey will be used to inform the content of the animation, along with focus groups. The information you give will be treated confidentially and used anonymously. You have the right to withdraw from this process at any time.
