Hundreds of people working in the UK’s bars, restaurants, hotels and campsites are suspected to be victims of modern slavery, some with debts as high as £30,000 after being “lured” by promises of a better life, according to a new report.
The charity Unseen said similar abuses evident in the care sector in recent years are now becoming apparent in the hospitality industry, with its helpline recording a sharp rise in potential victims linked to the skilled worker visa route.
