Enhanced Collaborative Model (ECM) human trafficking task forces are a prime example of how a wide spectrum of governmental and non-governmental agencies can work together to help bring traffickers to justice, help survivors heal, and raise education and awareness in communities. Sharing information across disciplines is vital to the success of each task force; however, it can be challenging to navigate the information sharing policies of each agency and balance the need for collaboration with the need to maintain legal, professional, and ethical confidentiality standards. This webinar will guide ECM task forces through the process of establishing formal information sharing procedures between task force partners and identify action steps to develop or revise information sharing agreements and procedures.
This webinar will help ECM grantees:
- Establish information sharing needs, priorities, and limitations within their task force.
- Create simple yet effective information sharing protocols within a task force.
- Develop confidentiality protocols that adhere to the ethics and guidelines of each profession in the task force.
- Establish a structure to manage and communicate information within the task force.
- Develop or revise formalized information sharing agreements and protocols.
