The UK-based anti-slavery charity Unseen revealed that the same abuses previously seen in the care sector are now becoming common in the hospitality scene. Its helpline is experiencing a significant increase in calls from potential victims who took the skilled worker visa route.
In 2024, a total of 75 potential victims of modern slavery in the hospitality industry were reportedly on the skilled worker visas, higher than the record from the previous year, which was only one.
