This document outlines our commitment to ensuring everyone connected with our service feels safe, respected, and treated fairly. It clarifies that our modern slavery statement is intended to inform rather than imply any existing problems. We define modern slavery and exploitation, emphasizing a care-focused, safeguarding-led approach rather than a punitive one.
We encourage service users, families, clinicians, and contractors to speak up if anything feels uncomfortable, reassuring them that no proof is needed to raise a concern. All issues are managed sensitively to protect individuals and minimize distress. Alternative formats are readily available upon request.
