Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery – our responsibilities at Brainkind 

As an organisation, we have a responsibility to ensure that our workplace, supply chains, and partners are free from any form of exploitation. So, we want to share some information on how you can spot signs of modern slavery, and report anything you’re concerned about.  

We also want to make you aware of our modern slavery statement and where you can find it.  

Taking modern slavery seriously helps us to protect people’s rights, demonstrates our values, and ensures we meet our legal and ethical obligations. 

What does modern slavery mean? 

Modern slavery refers to situations where individuals are exploited, controlled, or forced to work through coercion, threats, or deception. This includes human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, and exploitation of vulnerable people. 

At Brainkind, our modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are prevented in our organisation and supply chains.  

It’s available to read here.

How to spot the signs 

You may come across possible signs of modern slavery without realising. For example, common red flags you might see include: 

• Individuals who seem afraid to speak up, avoid eye contact, or are being closely supervised by someone else. 

• People who can’t keep their own documents (e.g., their passport is held by someone else). 

• Signs of poor living or working conditions, exhaustion, or restricted freedom. 

• Workers who appear unpaid or underpaid, or who seem unaware of their employment terms. 

• Reluctance to seek help or discuss their situation. 

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and report concerns through our safeguarding or whistleblowing channels. You don’t need to be certain — raising concerns early can protect someone at risk.
