“The Child Welfare Response to Child Labor Trafficking in California” is a research brief accompanied by an online tool-kit, including a case study of the original ten child welfare agencies who participated in PACT.  This research highlights PACT’s efforts to implement a comprehensive approach to child trafficking. 

In 2019, PACT counties began initial work to expand their CSEC Programs to address child labor trafficking and its intersection with commercial sexual exploitation. While still in the beginning stages, this model serves as an initial roadmap to build capacity to prevent, early identify, and serve vulnerable children and youth who interface with child welfare systems.
