  • These were the ones I remember from an interview the other day:

    • Often looking injured and malnourished
    • lack of belongings - ie old clothes, no phone, etc
    • Avoiding eye contact and reluctance to talk to strangers
    • Not allowed to handle money - ie one person always handling money.
    • Lack of safety equipment, or the normal equipment you'd expect to see.

    These are from a LA document (obvs some of them may not apply):

    • Unfamiliarity with the local neighbourhood
    • Signs of physical or psychological abuse such as looking malnourished or unkempt or appearing
    withdrawn
    • Poor living conditions such as unhygienic, overcrowded accommodation or living and working at the
