Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement 2026

Our company Values are Humility Accountability Achievement Passion Integrity

Our philosophy is actually quite simple: We strive to provide an excellent standard of care to our residents, treating them with complete dignity and respect. We like to call it, just simply good care.

The Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires commercial organisations operating in the UK to produce a slavery and human trafficking statement at the end of each financial year. This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our Group’s slavery and human trafficking statement for 2026. It demonstrates the steps we are taking and will continue to take, to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.

Roseberry Care has zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking in all its business dealings. We are also committed to the prevention of slavery and human trafficking, in all its forms. We will not tolerate or condone it within any part of our business or supply chain.

Due diligence of supply chains

We will liaise with our suppliers to request that they share with us their Slavery and Human Trafficking policy and to provide assurances that human trafficking and slavery do not exist in the supplier’s operations and supply chain. To request that they assure us that where suppliers work with a third party that they identify the overall risks of slavery and human trafficking in their supply chain. Whether suppliers conduct independent, unannounced audits of their operations and suppliers. Whether suppliers require their direct suppliers to certify that all materials incorporated into their final product were sourced, processed, and manufactured in compliance with the human trafficking and slavery laws of the country, or countries, in which they operate and to reassure us that whether management employees, particularly those in charge of supply chain management, have been trained to understand what slavery and human trafficking are and how to mitigate the risk of them in their respective supply chains.

Our Procurement policy continues to ensure that adequate procurement pricing and prompt payment is in place.
