Identification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Poland, the identification process of a victim of human trafficking can be divided into two main parts: informal identification and formal identification. Presumed victims of human trafficking do not have to be formally identified in order to receive assistance and support from the National Intervention and Consultation Centre for Victims of Trafficking (KCIK). Social assistance centres, on the other hand, provide assistance only to persons who have been formally identified by law enforcement authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early and immediate assistance<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Poland, victims of human trafficking have the right to various forms of assistance, regardless of whether they want to cooperate or not with law enforcement agencies. The assistance is mainly provided by The National Intervention and Consultation Centre for Victims of Human Trafficking (KCIK) or the Social Assistance Centres. The latter operates only when the victim has been formally identified. KCIK is the main care provider for child victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
