Tackling Modern Slavery and Labour Abuse in the Care Sector

International workers play a vital role in the health and care sector across Cornwall and the UK, often serving at the heart of our parish communities. While many have positive experiences, some face serious risks, including exploitation and even Modern Slavery.

To raise awareness and offer support, a new video has been produced by Justice and Care in partnership with the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA).

Watch the video to learn more:

• Hear real-life stories from care workers
• Understand your rights and protections
• Get practical guidance on visa sponsorship, daily life in the UK, and how to spot signs of labour abuse
• Learn how to avoid agencies that charge illegal recruitment fees or impose exploitative conditions
