Trafficking of children and their subsequent care

Eden District Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Eden District Council,

Please find below an FOI request relating to the trafficking of children and their subsequent care.

Unseen is providing safe accommodation for potentially trafficked foreign migrant children. The service has been developed with local authority, police and governmental partners and is Ofsted registered. Through running this service we have become aware of some systemic barriers that fundamentally prevent children from accessing the care and protection they need.

We would like to know, for each local authority in the UK:

1. How many potentially trafficked children you have identified in the last 12 months?
2. How many of these children have been non-UK Nationals?
3. Of the children identified what type of care placements have been sought? (foster care, secure, supported accommodation, children’s home, living independently)
4. How many children in this cohort have subsequently a) remained in their original placement b) moved to a different placement c) gone missing short-term (72 hours or less) or d) gone missing long-term (over 72 hours)?

This information is being requested from each Local Authority area in the UK.
Yours faithfully,
Unseen (UK)

foi, Eden District Council

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
received on 29/Nov/2018. I have registered your request under reference
number FOI 05776 and would be grateful if you would please use this
reference and the email address [Eden District Council request email] on any future
correspondence relating to this request.

We aim to respond to your request no later than 31/Dec/2018.

Whilst it is the Council’s policy to provide information wherever
possible, I need to advise you that there are a number of exemptions under
the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which may prevent the release of some
or all of the information you have requested. Some exemptions are absolute
and some only apply where the public interest in maintaining the exemption
outweighs that in disclosing the information. You will be informed if this
is the case and the reason why.

Once the information has been identified the Authority may also ask that a
fee be paid for processing and delivering the information to you. Details
of any fee to be charged will be notified to you as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully

Eden District Council
