Reporting modern slavery
Information from the public is vital in the fight against modern slavery.
To report your concerns call the police on 101. If you or someone else is in immediate danger call 999 straight away.
You can also report anonymously via:
- The National Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700
- Or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
The UK-wide Modern Slavery Helpline, which is operated by Unseen UK, released the 'Unseen UK Modern Slavery App' in July 2018 to make reporting to the helpline even easier. The App provides a simple guide to recognising the signs of modern slavery and reporting concerns in confidence to free more victims of slavery. The App can be downloaded by searching 'Unseen UK' in app stores now.
The Clewer initiative - Safe Car Wash APP
Modern slavery is hidden in plain sight on our high streets. People are being forced to work long hours, for little or no pay, and under threat of violence in hand car washes. Many hand car washes are legitimate businesses, but some of them are not. Police raids in hand car washes in towns and cities up and down the country have unearthed victims living in horrendous conditions.
The Safe Car Wash app is a new tool that will enable the largest community intelligence gathering exercise ever attempted in the United Kingdom.
