Webinar: Presumed trafficking cases in Barnahus – new tools for adapting services and meeting the Barnahus Quality Standards

Join us for a 2-hour webinar exploring how Barnahus services can be adapted to better support child victims of human trafficking.

The webinar targets Barnahus professionals who want to learn about new tools and interventions for adapting their services for presumed cases of child trafficking. The webinar is part of the TRM project, a project that has developed tools and mechanisms to better support child victims of trafficking.

Dr. Linda Jonsson will join us to discuss an acute crisis intervention that she has developed in the context of this project. This intervention is tailored for the first critical days after disclosure or a child investigative interview. Linda’s presentation will focus on key aspects that are important to be aware of for professionals involved in interagency case management.

Noora Halmeenlaakso will join to present a handbook on investigating interviewing. The handbook aims to support professionals in carrying out investigative interviews in presumed cases of trafficking in children.

Rebecca O’Donnell will join and discuss key European and international legal provisions with a particular focus on multidisciplinary approaches and services. Rebecca will highlight the revision of the trafficking directive, referral mechanism provisions, and provisions from the revision of the victims’ rights directive.  

Lastly, Olivia Lind Haldorsson will join us to discuss key aspects of the Barnahus Quality Standards when supporting child victims of trafficking.
