Canadian Legislative Landscape on Human Trafficking and Sex Trafficking​
This webinar will provide social work clinicians with the legislative landscape of the crimes of human smuggling and human sex trafficking under current Federal laws. They will learn about the groups that are more at risk, common methods of control, the clandestine nature of these crimes and the multi-systemic collaborative responses in education, child protection, criminal justice and victims’ services, emergency shelters, mental health and addiction treatment facilities, and safe homes in Ontario, referred to broadly as the anti-human trafficking strategy.

This Webinar is FREE for Ontario Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Social Service Workers (RSSW) and Students of Social Work and Social Service Work Programs. Please note: If you are not an RSW, RSSW or student of these programs in Ontario, you may still attend but will be charged a nominal fee of $20.
