Raising awareness and reporting concerns of modern slavery and exploitation.
The 2023 to 2024 UK Labour Market Enforcement Strategy has identified the care sector as a high-risk sector for labour market non-compliance. This includes modern slavery and other forms of labour abuse and presents a risk to workers and to people receiving care.
Modern slavery is the illegal exploitation of people for personal or commercial gain. It is often an unseen crime and violates human rights.
The Welsh Government has published guidance that covers:
- Introduction
- What is modern slavery?
- What are the signs of modern slavery?
- Common misunderstandings and misconceptions
- What you can do if you suspect care workers are being exploited
- If you are an international worker and want to question your working conditions
- Social care providers employing (or wanting to employ) international workers
- Whistleblowing
- Further information
