A/HRC/38/45 larger group of social services professionals, including medical staff, social workers, or other civil society actors, as well as local communities, who enter into contact with migrants in different contexts and are in a position to establish a safe space and relationship of trust over time with potential victims of trafficking. 42 44. Generally, the need for training is a major concern in the identification of victims of trafficking in countries of destination, even when there are mechanisms or procedures that include all relevant stakeholders. A lack of appropriate training is also a consequence of insufficient resources allocated to such services, which is in turn a consequence of political will, which is focused instead on countering migration.43 Other groups identified in need of training include law enforcement, border police, asylum caseworkers, immigration services, refugee counselling centres, specialized migration centres, youth welfare offices, labour inspectors, immigration services, health support organizations, reception centres, migrant detention centres, legal services, municipal officers, labour authorities, migrant organizations, airport personnel, other transport providers and traditional, religious and community leaders in countries of origin.44 45. As regards the judiciary, organizations that provide assistance have also raised concerns about the subtle categorization of certain indicators in labour abuse or exploitative conditions of work as cases of trafficking in persons for labour exploitation. A good practice involves the collaboration between assistance organizations and prosecution offices, through exchanges including public hearings, which can raise the level of awareness of the judiciary. As a result, prosecutorial and judicial authorities are more attentive to relevant indicators in the subsequent cases, which can increase the number of cases reviewed with successful outcomes for victims. 45 46. Feedback from destination regions shows a need to strengthen the ability of multidisciplinary teams to identify vulnerabilities and assistance needs. For example, in the identification of cases of labour exploitation, this approach implies the reinforcement of labour inspectorates and the inclusion of a trafficking dimension within service providers working on migrant worker protection. 47. To increase the identification of trafficking for labour exploitation, the enforcement of labour standards should be a key element in anti-trafficking policy, in addition to the evaluation of the indicators used to identify practices such as charging recruitment fees to migrant workers, the absence of contracts or the retention of passports and other personal documents, and ensure such practices are included as indicators in identification procedures. Often, trafficking for labour exploitation is linked to small labour abuses, and labour inspectors are better placed to provide early warnings on labour abuses that can mask grave violations, such as forced labour or trafficking in persons. Inspections should be strengthened and proactive, as the hidden nature of labour exploitation often goes underreported owing to a number of barriers faced by migrant workers, including fear of retaliation, linguistic barriers, lack of information about their rights, insecure status, etc.46 Proactive labour inspection must not be limited to working sites but also include recruitment agents. A good example is the licensing scheme operated in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland by the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, which regulates labour providers in the agriculture, horticulture and shellfish gathering sectors. That organization’s licensing standards reflect key forced labour indicators and are monitored and enforced through proactive inspections. Its mandate has been expanded by the Immigration Act 2016 to cover the investigation of labour exploitation offences.47 42 43 44 45 46 47 12 Submissions of La Strada International and FLEX.
