24-hour hotline to help crack down on human trafficking

A 24-hour telephone hotline is to be established as part of fresh efforts to crack down on human trafficking.

The Department of Justice said it was seeking suitably qualified personnel to steer a national awareness campaign to run for three weeks in October.

The winning tender will not only spearhead a nationwide advertising campaign, but will also operate a 24-hour telephone hotline for the confidential reporting of suspicions of trafficking for the duration of the three week campaign.
