MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT – 2025  

David Lewis is a national charity that provides health, adult social care and education services.

We deliver registered services (with Ofsted and CQC) and other services.  David Lewis employs over 1,100 people from a range of backgrounds and communities, and we have a strategic focus on doing all we can to “recruit the best people” which is one of our strategic ambitions as a charity. David Lewis is committed to treating all people with respect and dignity.

We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and we use best endeavors to ensure that our supply chains are free from modern slavery, human trafficking and are aligned to our values as a charity.

We take our responsibility seriously to comply with all principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We are satisfied from our own due diligence and processes that we are free from modern slavery and human trafficking and that our employees have the right support, guidance and direction from our recruitment policies, code of conduct, safeguarding and whistleblowing policies to raise any concerns.

During 2025/2026 we will review our compliance with the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act

The David Lewis Executive Team and Board of Trustees are aware of their responsibilities in line with this statement.
