Report exploitation or modern slavery

You can do this online:

Report modern slavery (opens in new tab)

You can make an anonymous report if:

• you were charged for your sponsorship
• money was taken from your pay for sponsorship
• you were not paid for work you did
• you were not given the hours promised on your visa

You will not get into trouble for reporting this. The Home Office takes these concerns very seriously.

Get advice and support if you feel unsafe

If you need to talk to someone, you can get free confidential advice in over 200 languages:

Contact the modern slavery and exploitation helpline

The helpline is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

They can:

• help you get support
• give advice about worries or abuse
