Safe Car Wash AppEnding modern slavery in hand car washes
The problem
• Over 18,000 hand car washes in the UK, mostly sprung up in the last decade
• Some are legitimate businesses
• Police raids in hand car washes have unearthed victims living in horrendous conditions
• No reliable data on how many victims there are
The solution
• Developed a smartphone app called Safe Car Wash
• Open the app and complete a short survey about the working conditions of the hand car wash
• If exploitation might be happening, you will be prompted to call the Modern Slavery Helpline
• App data will be shared anonymously with law enforcement
Spotting the signs
