Children: Trafficking

Debate between Baroness Neville-Jones and Lord Sentamu

Tuesday 27th July 2010 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Neville-Jones]

I entirely take the noble Baroness’s point and will certainly bear it in mind.

[The Archbishop of York]

My Lords, does the Minister agree that there are grounds for thinking that support for child victims is hampered by failure first of all to identify them, often wrongly criminalising them? No adequate facilities are in place to support them yet. Does she agree that that therefore implies that we should have more dealings with children’s services and NGOs at a much earlier time? Furthermore, is she confident that we are complying with Articles 10 and 12 of the convention?
