Border Guard officers (38 participants) were trained especially in methods of identification of victims of trafficking and intervention in cooperation with other authorities. During the training for school pedagogues held on 19–20 November, the emphasis was put on prevention issues. The training was conducted as a part of a recent CoE trafficking prevention action targeting young people – “You are not for sale!” implemented in Poland by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration.
During the training scenario of prevention workshop for adolescents that have been developed within NCF, was presented for the first time. Participants who decided to conduct the workshop at their place of work were asked to fill in and send feedback questionnaires. Meeting gathered 56 participants. The trainings mentioned above were planned together with the Ministries responsible for prevention and fight against trafficking (Ministry of Education and Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration).
