Methodology for identification andsupport of child victims of traffickingdeveloped in the projectFINAL REPORTDevelopment of a Child Rights Methodology to Identify and Support Child Victims of Trafficking7.2 THE METHODOLOGYAGIS METHODOLOGY - SECTION 1PROFILES AND INDICATORSIIIPART7.1 PRESENTATION OF THE METHODOLOGYThe main aim of this AGIS project consisted in the development of a child rightsbased methodology to identify and support child victims of trafficking (hereinafter“the AGIS methodology”). To that end, Save the Children Italy has developed a proposalshared with the other project partners who eventually agreed upon the methodology thatis presented in this chapter.Furthermore, a specific protocol for identification and support of child victims has beendeveloped by Save the Children Italy as an example of the type of exhaustive tool foridentifying and supporting child victims that can be developed using the AGISmethodology. Though the protocol is only applicable to Italy, it can be easily replicatedin other European countries, under the guidance of the AGIS methodology. The protocolis a separate document and can be downloaded from the Save the Children website.The AGIS methodology is divided in three sections:• Section 1: on profiles and indicators for the identification of child victims oftrafficking;METHODOLOGICALFRAMEWORK No. 1Profiles of Child Victimsand Children at Risk ofTrafficking / ExploitationThe methodological framework outlined below shall guide thedevelopment of tables of profiles of child victims and children atrisk of trafficking. It suggests the division of profiles by form ofexploitation, including sexual exploitation, exploitation in illegalactivities, begging and labour exploitation. The AGISmethodology suggests the use of different colours for each formof exploitation so that readers, that is, all relevant stakeholderswho should use the methodology, are able to more easily identifythe form of exploitation in question.For each profile, the tables describe or indicate the group, theprobability that the child is a victim of trafficking or exploitation,methods of recruitment, methods of exploitation and where itoccurs, family status and living conditions.Indications given shall be considered with flexibility. In thedevelopment of tables of profiles the authors shall take intoconsideration and add any element that although not suggestedunder the AGIS methodology, might be relevant to include intheir national or local context.• Section 2: on cooperation, coordination and approach, including a list of child rightsprinciples applicable to procedures for cooperation on identification and support; amethodological framework to outline instruments of protection available in nationallegal systems; a statement of good practices to be followed as far as the organisation,structure and approach are concerned; a methodological framework to guide thedevelopment of recommendations on operating procedures to be implemented, ageassessment procedures and procedures to assess relations between children andaccompanying adults;• Section 3: on ethical and methodological principles applicable in interviews ofpresumed child victims of trafficking.PROFILE - indicate type of exploitation(e.g. sexual exploitation, exploitation in illegal activities, exploitation for begging, labour exploitation). Different coloursmay be used for each form of exploitation to facilitate users in their search for profiles.Group✓ Indicate if victimsare children oradolescents✓ specify gender✓ specify nationality✓ specify ethnicity✓ give other details ifimportant (e.g.physical disabilities)Give a progressivenumber to each profiledescribed.This numberrefers to the detailedtable which combinesprofiles and indicators(see MethodologicalFramework No. 3)(Example:“TableNo. 1” etc.).Probability thatthe child is victimof trafficking /exploitationChoose between:✓ high✓ medium✓ lowMethod ofrecruitmentSpecify:✓ how✓ where✓ profile of recruiters✓ family involvementMethod and placeof exploitation /activitySpecify:✓ what type of activityis involved✓ where it happens✓ if exploitation iscontinuous oroccasional✓ if victims act ingroup or alone✓ if victims sufferedabuses, violence andthreats✓ if a minimumincome is expectedFamily status andliving conditionsSpecify:✓ if victims have familyties✓ details on theirliving conditions5455
