The Standards of Practice to Support Victim-Survivors of Trafficking is a tool to provide insight to the unique needs of victim-survivors; to assist communities in developing an effective network of services for victim-survivors of human trafficking; to encourage continuous quality improvement in trafficking-specific services; and to ensure best practice standards of care are established in Nebraska and available to respond to the needs of victim-survivors. Victim-survivor services are those services and interventions offered to an individual victim-survivor to address expressed needs and concerns and promote healing and justice.
Included with these standards are two, ready to use, tools for service providers. The first is an emergency safety plan, designed for providers who may not have received formal training in safety planning. This will assist in identifying safe people, safe environments, as well as next steps in obtaining immediate resources. The second tool is a self-assessment guide to use as you ensure your services meet the presented standards and best practices. For additional assistance with utilizing these tools, please reach out to one of the NHTTF contacts listed on page 12 of the Standards of Practice.
