Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement for Removal Companies Streatham

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the approach of Removal Companies Streatham to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or in the businesses of our suppliers.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Removal Companies Streatham operates a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and exploitation. We do not accept, condone, or ignore any practices that compromise the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals. This commitment applies to all staff, agency workers, contractors, and any third parties acting on our behalf.

All employees and managers are required to comply with our policies and to support a culture in which unethical or exploitative practices are challenged and reported. Any breach of this policy by an employee may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. Any supplier found to be involved in modern slavery or related activities may have their contract terminated.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Removal Companies Streatham provides residential and commercial removal and related services. Our operations are supported by a range of suppliers, including packaging material providers, vehicle and equipment hire companies, facilities management services, and labour agencies. We recognise that certain segments of the logistics and labour supply sectors can present higher risks of modern slavery and therefore warrant particular scrutiny.

We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who demonstrate respect for human rights, fair working conditions, and legal compliance in all jurisdictions in which they operate.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We have established due diligence procedures for assessing existing and potential suppliers. These procedures include risk-based reviews of the supplier’s location, sector, workforce profile, and known risk indicators for modern slavery. Where appropriate, we request information regarding labour practices, recruitment methods, and use of subcontractors.

For higher-risk suppliers, we reserve the right to conduct audits or request third-party audit reports to verify compliance with our standards. These audits may cover employment contracts, working hours, wage records, recruitment fees, and grievance mechanisms available to workers. Where non-compliance is identified, we expect clear corrective action plans within specified timeframes. Persistent non-compliance or refusal to engage may result in the termination of supplier relationships.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibility

Responsibility for overseeing our efforts to prevent modern slavery lies with senior management. They are responsible for ensuring that appropriate policies, training, and monitoring mechanisms are in place and are regularly reviewed.

We provide targeted training and guidance to managers, supervisors, and staff involved in procurement, supplier management, and people management. This training covers recognising indicators of modern slavery, understanding our reporting channels, and responding appropriately to concerns.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Removal Companies Streatham encourages anyone who encounters suspected modern slavery in our business or supply chains to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be raised with line managers or senior management. We will treat all reports sensitively and, where possible, confidentially.

All reports of potential modern slavery are taken seriously, promptly reviewed, and investigated where appropriate. We are committed to protecting those who raise concerns in good faith and to ensuring that issues are addressed through corrective measures, engagement with relevant parties, and, where necessary, referral to appropriate authorities.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that combating modern slavery is an ongoing process that requires vigilance, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We are committed to reviewing and strengthening our policies, procedures, and due diligence activities regularly.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement will be reviewed at least once every twelve months by senior management. The review will consider changes in our business operations, evolving legal requirements, emerging best practice, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Where necessary, we will update our measures to further reduce the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.

By maintaining this commitment, Removal Companies Streatham seeks to play a responsible role in promoting ethical practices and protecting the rights and dignity of workers connected with our business.
