The Modern Slavery Act 2015 introduced changes in UK law focussed on increasing transparency in supply chains, namely, to ensure that our supply chains are free from modern slavery (that is, slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking).
In accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 NHS Thames Valley fully supports the Government’s objectives to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking and recognises the significant role that the NHS has to play in both combatting it and supporting victims.
The NHS Thames Valley Modern Slavery Statement for 2026/27 will be available here once ratified by the NHS Thames Valley ICB Board.
