Avoiding Scams

The Department of Health and Social Care has put together some advice on staying safe and avoiding scams when searching for a social care job in the UK. 

Modern Day Slavery Guide

With a belief prevention is better than cure, this guide provides information on what Modern Day Slavery is, a little about the legislation itself and how to spot the signs of Modern Day Slavery.

Staying Safe
