Modern Slavery Policy

Modern Slavery Policy

CareTutor Modern Slavery Policy 

  1. Policy statement

Modern slavery is a crime and a serious violation of fundamental human rights. It can take many forms, including slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking, all of which involve the exploitation of a person for personal or commercial gain. 

CareTutor has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically, with integrity and transparency in all our business dealings and relationships, and to taking reasonable steps to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place in any part of our own business or, so far as reasonably possible, within our supply chains. 

We expect the same standards from our contractors, suppliers, partners and anyone else we work with. 

  1. Purpose

  • Set out CareTutor’s commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.  
  • Explain the responsibilities of employees and those working on behalf of CareTutor.
