Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement (2025/2026)

This statement is made pursuant to s.54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Pivot Care Group Limited has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.

Founded in 2018, Pivot Care Group Limited has proved itself as a safe, reliable and stable adult social care provider. We provide domiciliary care services to individuals living in their own home. The company has an experienced management team drawn from social services, health and charities.

We support individuals with a very wide range of needs including those with dementia, learning disabilities, eating disorder, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment.

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business.  Our Anti-slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we ensure that any suppliers we use have completed our questionnaires in relation to slavery and human trafficking. We ensure that we work with suppliers who treat their obligations towards modern slavery with the same importance that we do.

Policies

We operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner.

• Whistleblowing Policy, aimed principally at our employees but also available to others working in our supply chains which encourages staff to report any wrongdoing which extends to human rights violations like Modern Slavery.
• Complaints Policy. Whilst aimed at receiving complaints or concerns about our care provision or conduct, all complaints received will be fully investigated and appropriate remedial actions taken and we will work closely with our social care and health partners ensuring our safeguarding policies and procedures dovetail with local procedures and best practice.
• A robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK checks for all employees to safeguard.
• Agency employment policies and procedures. We expect that all agencies that supply Pivot Care Group Limited ensure that staff are screened and vetted in line with best practice and relevant legislation to ensure: Authentic and legal documentation, right to work in the UK and identity, as well as assessing for any concerning behaviours/fears/pay or banking irregularities or health issues that may require further review in line with combating Modern Slavery.
• Anti-Fraud, Bribery and Corruption Policy. It is our policy to conduct all of our business in an honest and ethical manner.

We are committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We have in place systems to:

• Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains.
• Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains.
• Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains.
• Protect whistleblowers.

Direct Communication

The Company encourages members of the public or people not employed by us to write, in confidence, to the Company’s Director of Compliance and Regulation to raise any concern, issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any part of our business.

We will know the effectiveness of the steps that we are taking to ensure that slavery is not taking place within our business or supply chain if:

• No reports are received from employees, the public, or law enforcement agencies or local safeguarding teams to indicate that modern slavery practices have been identified.

Safeguards

We aim to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken. We are committed to ensuring that no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery of whatever form is or may be taking place in any part of our business. Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable treatment connected with raising a concern. Pivot Care Group Limited will accept and take seriously concerns communicated anonymously.

However, retention of anonymity does render investigations and makes validation more difficult and can make the process less effective. Individuals are therefore encouraged to put their names to allegations. Any claims or allegations made which are found to be malicious or vexatious will result in disciplinary action being taken against the individual.

Training on modern slavery and human trafficking:

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business this policy forms part of the induction process for all individuals who work for us. Regular training will be provided on the policy and the risk our businesses face from modern slavery in our supply chains as is deemed necessary.

Our employees are encouraged to identify and report any potential breaches of our anti-slavery policy and we have in place protection for whistle blowers.
