Councillor compares conditions of some international recruits in adult social care to 'modern day slavery'
5 Sep 2025
Speaking at Tuesday night’s Adult Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee (September 2), councillor Tim Caswell (Goldington) raised the case of a anonymised care worker.
Taking care not to identify either the worker or their employer, Cllr Caswell spoke of how the recruit routinely worked 15 hour shifts (7am - 10pm); was paid 25p per mile for petrol; and 50p per hour travelling time.
Cllr Caswell called for a full investigation into the case.
