The aim of this module is to prepare officers who come in contact with victims or potential victims of human trafficking with the knowledge and skills required to detect and handle signs of human trafficking and to prepare and conduct an asylum interview with a victim or potential victim of human trafficking.

This module is composed of two levels. The first level raises awareness of victims or potential victims of trafficking and explores the knowledge and skills needed to identify potential victims of trafficking, along with how to handle an initial encounter. The second level focuses on victims of trafficking who may be in need of international protection. It explains how to prepare and conduct an asylum interview with a victim or potential victim of human trafficking and how to approach decision-making in a protection claim involving such a person.
