Whe Care Services Ltd Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction and Purpose

At Whe Care Services Ltd, we are fundamentally committed to upholding the highest ethical

standards, promoting social responsibility, and ensuring absolute integrity in all aspects of our

business. One of the most critical issues we address is the eradication of modern slavery and

human trafficking.

We firmly believe that every individual has the right to live and work free from any form of

exploitation. We are dedicated to playing our part in combatting this egregious violation of

human rights across our operations, our recruitment pathways, and our wider supply chains.

Our Position and Core Principles

1. Zero Tolerance

Whe Care Services Ltd operates a strict, zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery in all

its forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, and child labour. We will

not engage in, support, or tolerate any business activities that involve, facilitate, or contribute

to modern slavery.

2. Compliance with Statutory Law

We are committed to complying with all relevant international, national, and local laws aimed

at preventing modern slavery. This includes strict adherence to the Modern Slavery Act

2015 in the United Kingdom, as well as all associated statutory guidance and employment

regulations.

3. Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

We conduct thorough, ongoing risk assessments and due diligence to identify, monitor, and

mitigate the risk of modern slavery within our care operations, recruitment processes, and

supply chains. This includes:

● Verifying the identity, right to work, and employment history of all staff.

● Ensuring all employees are paid at least the National Living Wage directly into a

verified, personal bank account.

● Auditing our suppliers and contractors to ensure they share our commitment to

eliminating exploitation.

4. Whistleblowing, Reporting, and Accountability

We have established clear, confidential reporting mechanisms to enable employees, service

users, and external stakeholders to raise concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery.

● All reports will be investigated promptly, sensitively, and thoroughly.

● We maintain a strict Whistleblowing Policy that guarantees protection from

retaliation or victimisation for anyone raising a genuine concern in good faith.

● We maintain a structured response protocol to safely support victims and cooperate

fully with the police and the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) if

exploitation is uncovered.

5. Education, Awareness, and Training

We provide mandatory, regular training to our frontline care staff, managers, and recruitment

personnel on how to spot the indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. We equip

our workforce with the practical tools and knowledge required to report suspicions

immediately through internal routes or via the UK Modern Slavery Helpline (08000 121

700).

6. Transparency and Public Statements

In accordance with UK transparency expectations, we are committed to being completely

open about our anti-slavery efforts. We publish and regularly review our modern slavery

statement to outline the practical steps we have taken, our measurable progress, and our

continuous improvement plans for the future.

7. Multi-Agency Collaboration

Whe Care Services Ltd collaborates proactively with local authorities, safeguarding boards,

government agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and other sector

stakeholders. We recognise that sharing intelligence and working collaboratively is essential

to tackling the complex, systemic challenges associated with modern slavery.

Continuous Commitment

Modern slavery is a grave violation of human dignity, and Whe Care Services Ltd is

dedicated to being an active part of the solution. We understand that eradicating exploitation

requires continuous vigilance. We commit to reviewing our policies, training, and supply

chain controls annually to ensure our business remains entirely free from exploitation.

Our mission is to deliver exceptional care in an environment where every individual is treated

with absolute dignity and respect.
