Reporting information

If you have any information about the mistreatment of workers, labour providers operating without a licence or a business using an unlicensed gangmaster, please tell us. Your information counts.

All information we receive is prioritised according to the severity of the risk factors identified. Whenever possible, the intelligence team will speak to the source directly to ensure as much information as possible is obtained and the initial risk assessment is accurate. Acknowledgments are sent in response to written correspondence subject to the sender's identity remaining confidential.

Prosecutions and licence revocation details are published once any appeal process is completed. Feedback is decided on a case by case basis. Usually, feedback will not be provided to third parties or in circumstances which could compromise the information source, ongoing or future investigations by the GLAA or partner agencies.  

By telephone - 0800 432 0804, to report your concerns in confidence. Lines are open Monday to Friday 9:00am - 5:00pm, you can leave a message outside of these hours. This is a freephone number, although some mobile service providers may charge.

You can also call 0115 959 7049 (and leave a message outside of office hours using this number) or 0115 959 7052 to speak to one of the intelligence team. These are not freephone numbers so normal charges will apply.
