When we think about key indicators, understand that these signs are not meant to be a checklist, nor does any indicator necessarily mean they are being trafficked. These indicators are designed to paint a picture, not establish certainty of trafficking. More information-gathering is usually necessary and it isn’t always a screener’s job to further assess. We ask that you treat these details as considerations.  

And, remember referrals are important! Take advantage of the experts out in the field and connect people to the appropriate services when and if possible.
