Child and adolescent trafficking victims are uniquely affected by trafficking experiences due to their inherent vulnerability. This requires that special and additional measures be implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of child and adolescent trafficking victims at every stage of their lives after trafficking. At all of these stages, child-friendly spaces are important. Child-friendly spaces can be located anywhere a child trafficking victim may interact with a practitioner. It is good practice for child-friendly spaces to be used any time a practitioner interacts with a child or adolescent trafficking victim. Practitioners should consider the 4S Approach when developing and utilizing child-friendly spaces – Space, Staff, Standards, and Sustainability.
