Recognise warning signs
Restrictions on movement, retention of identity documents, threats and abusive recruitment practices can signal serious labour concerns. Context and careful investigation matter; a single indicator does not establish the full circumstances.
Ask practical questions
Discuss how workers are recruited, whether fees are charged, how wages are paid and whether workers can leave employment freely. Seek credible supporting information rather than relying only on a policy statement.
Use appropriate channels
Refer to the International Labour Organization’s guidance for further context. This page is educational material and is not a statutory modern slavery statement for a named legal entity.
