New study exposes modern slavery in care sector

FOREIGN workers are among hundreds being used as modern slaves in Britain’s understaffed social care sector, a new report revealed today.

Saddled with debts owed to “facilitators” who arrange their passage to Britain, and often charged fees for “certificates of sponsorship” to enable them get jobs, they face a lifetime of exploitation, the report by Unseen says.

The charity operates a helpline for workers who feel they are being abused and used as slaves.
