The Place Care is committed to conducting its business with integrity, professionalism, and accountability, ensuring that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation have no place within our organisation or supply chains.

We recognise modern slavery as a serious breach of fundamental human rights and a critical safeguarding concern within the health and social care sector. As a regulated provider, we take our responsibilities seriously and are committed to maintaining robust systems to protect the individuals we support, our workforce, and all those connected to our operations.

Our Commitment

The Place Care operates a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and is committed to:

• Upholding ethical standards across all areas of service delivery
• Protecting vulnerable individuals from abuse and exploitation
• Ensuring fair, lawful, and transparent employment practices
• Promoting a culture of accountability and openness

Governance and Controls

We have established clear governance arrangements to mitigate the risk of modern slavery, including:

• Implementation of comprehensive Safeguarding, Recruitment, and Whistleblowing Policies
• Oversight through senior management and regular governance review processes
• Inclusion of modern slavery risks within our organisational risk management framework

Workforce and Recruitment

The Place Care applies robust recruitment and employment practices to ensure all staff are engaged ethically and lawfully. These include:

We ensure that all staff are treated with dignity and respect, and that no individual is subjected to exploitative practices.

Supply Chain Assurance

We work with suppliers and partners who share our commitment to ethical standards. We expect all third parties to comply with applicable legislation, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and to demonstrate transparency in their operations.

Training and Awareness

All staff receive training in safeguarding and are supported to understand the risks and indicators of modern slavery. Staff are equipped with the knowledge to identify concerns and respond appropriately in line with organisational procedures.

Safeguarding and Reporting

Modern slavery is treated as a safeguarding matter. Staff are required to report any concerns promptly through established internal processes. Where appropriate, concerns are escalated to local authorities and relevant external agencies to ensure appropriate intervention and support.

The Place Care promotes a culture where individuals feel confident to raise concerns without fear of reprisal, supported by our Whistleblowing Policy.
