That this House believes that child victims of trafficking are some of the most vulnerable children in the UK; notes that while there exists a range of guidance to ensure a higher level of support and protection for child victims of trafficking, there remain substantial gaps in this system of support and these vulnerable children are not able to rely on one responsible adult with parental responsibility to care and support them and take decisions based on their best interests; believes that a system of guardianship would provide child victims of trafficking with someone to prevent them from facing further exploitation, reduce the risk of them going missing and ensure they receive the educational, medical, practical and legal support they need to help rebuild their lives; further notes that a system of guardianship is a requirement of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings and is a key recommendation of the UK anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group, made up of nine leading charities, including ECPAT UK and UNICEF UK; and therefore calls on the Government to introduce a system of guardianship for child victims of trafficking.

That this House welcomes the Government's recent efforts to highlight and combat the urgent issue of children being trafficked to the UK; is deeply concerned by the high numbers of these children who once identified go missing from local authority care; notes that child victims of trafficking who are not being appropriately supported or protected are vulnerable to further exploitation from their traffickers who, in the Home Affairs Committee's words, use the `care home system for vulnerable children as holding pens for their victims until they are ready to pick them up'; and calls on the Government to meet its commitment to all children in the UK by urgently launching an inquiry into the number of suspected trafficked children going missing and ensuring local authorities have the resources and expertise to provide foster care to all child victims of trafficking.
