Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 25

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Instead, a meaningful due diligence approach broadens the scope of identification to address a wider class of potential or presumed victims, as part of a comprehensive approach to prevention rather than a solely reactive or post-hoc due diligence measure. A wider and more pre-emptive approach necessarily involves a broader range of actors beyond law enforcement or border officials in identification. Good practices in this regard include involving actors such as labour and health and safety officials in identification of trafficking victims. Another good practice is for States to assign labour attachés to the staff of diplomatic missions, particularly in those countries that receive the largest number of a State's migrant workers. In order to facilitate victims' trust and identification - and subsequent protection and assistance - firewalls between certain areas (e.g., between enforcement of immigration laws and enforcement of labour laws) will often be necessary.
