Children are being trafficked into the UK to be prostituted here or taken to other countries for abuse.
One route into this country is for traffickers to send them alone on a plane or abandon them at the airport so that they become the responsibility of a local council.
For the last 3 years West Sussex County Council, have run a safe house for girls arriving at Gatwick and thought to be in danger. It's the only facility of this kind in the country and has been widely praised. Now the Council is proposing to close it.
Susan Ellery from West Sussex County Council and Carren Somerset from the Campaign to End Child Prostitution, Pornography and Trafficking join Martha to discuss.
