These risks necessitate the development of ethical hacking-style awareness amongst outreach workers; understanding vulnerabilities and anticipating potential harm is crucial. This includes recognizing signs of coercion, modern slavery, and other forms of abuse.
Current trends highlight the need for increased collaboration between outreach teams, law enforcement, and support services.
