Built from the law, checked against the law
The legislation, CQC standards and guidance we analyse to write it.
Your Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy is structured from these regulations, then verified against every required element of each one before a person signs it off. If the law changes, your policy is updated and you are told what changed and why.
Modern Slavery Act 2015
- Requires the organisation to ask each sponsored care worker, in writing and in their own language, what fees (if any) they paid to any agent or recruiter to obtain their job, and to whom those fees were paid
- Requires that the actual hours of work provided to sponsored workers match the hours stated in the Certificate of Sponsorship, and must prohibit the practice of promising full-time hours but providing significantly fewer
- Prohibits contractual clauses requiring workers to repay recruitment, training, or sponsorship costs if they resign within a specified period
- Requires that any passport or identity document taken from a worker for right-to-work checking purposes is returned to that worker immediately after the check is completed, and must prohibit retention of workers' documents
- Requires that where the organisation both employs a worker on a sponsored visa and provides or arranges their accommodation, the worker's continued access to that accommodation must not be made conditional on continued employment, and alternative arrangements must be documented if employment ends
- Requires due diligence checks on any employment agency used by the organisation, specifically requiring written confirmation that the agency does not charge fees to workers it supplies and does not retain workers' identity documents, and must include audit rights in agency contracts
Written for your service
What we ask you, so none of it is assumed.
Most policy packs are one document sold to everyone with a find and replace on the home name. Your Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy is written from the legislation above and from your answers to the questions below. Where you have told us something, it says so. Where you have not, it sets out what must happen rather than claiming you already do it.
Your registered name, address, CQC numbers and who holds the key roles. About three minutes. Nothing else is asked before you buy.
Asked once in your own account and used across every policy you own, so a second policy never asks you the same thing twice.
Why it matters. A policy that claims you assess your premises annually, when you never have, is not a harmless overstatement. It is a signed statement handed to your inspector. We would rather write what you must do than guess what you already do.
How it is made
From your details to a policy you can stand behind.
The short questions above: who you are, your CQC registration, and the people this policy names.
One section per required element of the legislation, in your name, with your people.
Automated checks against every required element, then a person reads it before it ships.
When legislation changes, your policy is updated and you are told what changed and why.
Common questions
What you are actually buying.
What exactly do I receive?
A complete Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy written for your organisation, in your dashboard and as a print-ready PDF on your own letterhead. It names your service, your registration details and your leads, because you gave us them.
Is this a template?
No. Each policy is written for the organisation buying it, structured from the legislation itself, verified against 8 required regulatory elements, and read by a person before it carries your name.
How quickly will I get it?
Within 2 working days of you completing the short questions above. Most arrive sooner.
What happens when the law changes?
We monitor UK care legislation continuously. When something affecting this policy changes, your copy is updated and you are told what changed and why. The first year of updates is included, then £12 a year per policy.
Can I edit the policy myself?
No, and deliberately so: we stand behind every word we approve. If something needs changing, tell us and we amend and re-verify it, so it always remains a document we can both defend to an inspector.
What if I need more than one policy?
Most services do. The Statutory Starter Pack covers the twenty policies every CQC-registered service is expected to hold, and the Complete Policy Library covers all 66.
Why CareStream
Policies written the way an inspector expects to read them.
Before you buy
What the document actually looks like.
Every section it contains, and a page of the real thing. We show the structure and the personalisation rather than the wording, because the wording is what you are paying us to write for your service.

Section 4 · Roles and responsibilities
Who is accountable, by name
Overall accountability for this policy rests with your registered manager, supported by your nominated individual. Day to day responsibility sits with your named lead, who is the first point of contact for staff at your service address.
The remaining wording is written for the organisation buying it, so it is not shown here.
“The inspector asked for evidence and I had it on screen before she finished the sentence.”
