People's Postcode Lottery

Missing People featured on BBC Radio 4 'The Report'

2nd February 2010

Missing People's Chief Executive, Martin Houghton-Brown, was last week featured in 'The Report' on BBC Radio 4 at 7.30pm. The week’s edition of the programme highlights the issue of child trafficking.

Every week children who arrive alone in the UK and claim asylum go missing from local authority care. Many are believed to have been trafficked to work in brothels, cannabis factories and private homes or in street crime. Angus Crawford examines how criminals are using loopholes in the system to exploit these children.
