This training will equip anti-trafficking professionals with practical strategies for implementing ethical data collection and collective impact principles—a framework where organizations from different sectors commit to a common agenda and shared measurement systems to solve complex social problems. Brittany Dunn and Bill Woolf will demonstrate how standardized data practices are transforming fragmented anti-trafficking efforts into a coordinated national movement. Attendees will learn specific methodologies for collecting, sharing, and analyzing survivor data that maintain dignity and privacy while enabling seamless service delivery. Through case studies, presenters will examine how regions have created successful coordinated response systems where: 1) Survivors receive immediate, appropriate care without repetitive intake processes, 2) Resources are allocated based on evidence rather than assumptions, 3) Service gaps are identified and addressed systematically, and 4) Cross-sector partners develop shared accountability measures. The training covers practical implementation steps for developing ethical data protocols, establishing data governance structures, and creating trauma-informed data collection practices that build survivor trust. Attendees will learn how to initiate collective impact approaches in their community by identifying backbone organizations, establishing shared measurement systems, and fostering mutually reinforcing activities across stakeholders. Attendees will walk away understanding how to leverage both data-driven decision-making and collective impact methodologies to create a more effective, responsive anti-trafficking ecosystem that eliminates service fragmentation while honoring survivor dignity and agency.
