Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Academy Care is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chains. Although not legally required to publish a statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we believe in transparency, ethical practice, and human rights, and are voluntarily providing this statement to affirm our values.
Our Business and Values
Academy Care provides compassionate, high-quality health and social care services. We place the utmost importance on human dignity, equality, and ethical operations. Our policies reflect a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to:
Promoting awareness of modern slavery among staff through training and guidance.
Maintaining internal policies and procedures that support the identification and reporting of potential exploitation.
Taking appropriate steps to ensure that our supply chains and third-party partnerships share our values and comply with relevant legislation.
Policies in Practice
Our Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy and Procedure (PE07) outlines our responsibilities and expectations. This includes:
Clear reporting procedures for suspected abuse or exploitation.
Adherence to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) guidance.
Continuous policy reviews and updates to reflect current best practice.
Training and Awareness
We ensure that all staff, particularly those in recruitment, care provision, and supply management roles, are trained to recognise the signs of modern slavery and to act responsibly when concerns arise.
Looking Ahead
We regularly review our practices to identify risks, enhance safeguarding, and uphold our commitment to ethical care.
