Do you know how to spot the signs of workplace abuse? 🚨

As the leading organisation uncovering the links between modern slavery and homelessness, we want to help others avoid exploitation at work.

To spot the signs, keep an eye out for these red flags:

⚠️ Working long hours without breaks

⚠️ Low or no pay

⚠️ No job contract

⚠️ Bank cards/ID held by others

⚠️ Wages paid to someone else’s account

⚠️ Physical/mental abuse

⚠️ Unsafe conditions

⚠️ Limited freedom or forced work

⚠️ Substandard living conditions

Work should never come at the cost of your dignity or safety.

🚨 **Collaboration in Action: Tackling Rough Sleeping in London** 🚨

We’re excited to share how effective partnership work is making a real difference in the fight to end rough sleeping in London, especially for non-UK nationals.

👥 **Working with the Home Office Homelessness Team (HOHT)**
One of our key partners, the Home Office Homelessness Team, has been instrumental in improving responses for non-UK nationals experiencing homelessness. Through better collaboration and knowledge-sharing between agencies, we’re seeing more coordinated efforts that provide timely and impactful support to those who need it most.

The HOHT’s work with local authorities, charities, and outreach teams helps identify and assist individuals who are often left behind in traditional homelessness support systems.

📈 **The Impact?**
By strengthening these partnerships, we’re not just reducing rough sleeping overall, but also ensuring that more people, regardless of their nationality, get the help they need to get off the streets and into safe accommodation.

Together, we’re creating a London where no one has to sleep rough.
