Modern Slavery Statement

Why this exists

Covering the financial year ending 2026, this statement sets out what we do to keep forced labour and human trafficking out of the business, and out of everything that feeds into it.

Nobody made us publish it. Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 bites at £36 million of turnover and Vitalcare at Home Ltd sits well below that figure. Saying so outright beats letting a reader assume a legal obligation that does not exist. Being small is an argument for keeping the statement short, never an argument for skipping it altogether.

1. The company

Vitalcare at Home Ltd, registered in England and Wales under Company No. 15098204, registered office Office 4648, 221–323 High Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, England, RM6 6AX, trading as HostingFast.

It sells hosting, servers and domain names over the internet from the United Kingdom. Small team, no factories, no warehousing, no agency or seasonal labour.

2. What actually stands behind an account

Very little, and that is rather the point:

• a UK platform provider running the physical infrastructure itself;
• the registries and the registrars standing behind every domain extension we resell;
• the software vendors supplying our control panel, billing and security tooling;
• one payment processor, plus a transactional mail provider alongside;
• accountants and solicitors.

Every one of them is an established technology or professional firm based in the UK, the EEA or the United States, and each carries compliance obligations of its own.

3. A straight reading of the risk

Across our own operations, and among the suppliers we actually deal with face to face, we rate the risk as low. This is skilled, salaried work, performed under UK contracts, and all of it happens sitting at a desk.

Go further down the chain and visibility falls away. Constructing data centres, manufacturing servers and mining the minerals that go inside them all carry documented exploitation risk around the world, and each sits several relationships removed from anybody we have ever spoken to. No audit of them has been carried out by us, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we can do is favour suppliers who publish a credible position of their own, then weigh that up when choosing. That is what we do.

4. Practical steps

• every person here works on written terms, paid at or above the legal minimum wage, with right-to-work checked;
• nobody surrenders identity documents to us for safekeeping, and nobody pays a fee in order to get work or to keep it;
• a new supplier gets checked for a modern slavery position wherever the Act reaches them, and for anything on the public record that would undercut it;
• evidence of forced labour at a supplier ends that relationship, and the matter goes to the appropriate authority.

5. Training

At this size what happens is a briefing rather than a curriculum. Anybody hiring, or picking a supplier, knows the indicators of forced labour and knows how to escalate. Calling that a formal training programme would mean inventing one.

6. Speaking up

Staff, contractors, suppliers and customers may every one of them raise something in confidence at info@hostingfastnet.com or through the complaints procedure. Speak up in good faith and nothing at all happens to you for having spoken, whether or not the concern is substantiated in the end.

Immediate risk to anyone: 999. A report can also go to the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700.

7. Review

Reviewed each year and republished with the date updated, whether or not the substance has shifted at all. A statement left quietly frozen for three years communicates nothing.
