Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Companies Harringay

Removal Companies Harringay is committed to conducting all aspects of its business ethically, transparently, and in full compliance with applicable laws. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and throughout our supply chains.

Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, debt bondage, and human trafficking. We recognise that the logistics and removals sector can be exposed to risks through labour providers, subcontractors, temporary workers, and the sourcing of vehicles, equipment, and ancillary services. We are determined to identify, mitigate, and eliminate these risks wherever we operate.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

Removal Companies Harringay has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any form of exploitation, whether direct or indirect, in our business or supply chains. All directors, managers, employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to uphold this policy and act with integrity at all times.

We require that everyone working with or for Removal Companies Harringay complies with all relevant labour, employment, and human rights legislation. Any breach or suspected breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts or disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, where appropriate.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Our suppliers, contractors, and business partners play a critical role in our commitment to combating modern slavery. Before entering into or renewing any significant commercial relationship, we conduct appropriate due diligence proportionate to the level of risk. This may include requesting information on labour practices, reviewing publicly available records, and assessing the supplier’s own policies and procedures on modern slavery.

We seek to work only with suppliers who share our ethical values and who can demonstrate robust controls to prevent exploitation. Where risk is identified, we may carry out additional checks, request corrective action plans, or perform on-site audits. Our contracts aim to include clauses that require compliance with modern slavery legislation and our zero-tolerance approach.

Should a supplier be found to be involved in modern slavery practices, we will take immediate and appropriate action. This may include suspension of work, implementation of a corrective improvement plan, or termination of the commercial relationship.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We encourage an open culture in which concerns about potential modern slavery can be raised without fear of retaliation. Any employee, worker, contractor, supplier, or third party who suspects that modern slavery or human trafficking may be occurring in connection with our business is urged to report their concerns promptly.

Concerns can be raised verbally to a line manager, in writing to senior management, or through internal reporting channels made available within the business. All reports will be taken seriously, investigated sensitively, and handled as confidentially as possible. We will never tolerate victimisation of anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Where appropriate, we will cooperate fully with law enforcement and relevant authorities and will support any investigations into alleged modern slavery or human trafficking.

Training, Awareness, and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to developing and maintaining awareness of modern slavery risks among our employees and managers. Training and guidance are provided to those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management so they can recognise warning signs and understand how to respond.

We continue to review industry guidance, legal requirements, and best practices to strengthen our approach. Lessons learned from audits, investigations, and feedback from stakeholders are used to improve our internal processes and supplier engagement.

Annual Review and Governance

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by the senior management of Removal Companies Harringay. The review considers changes in legislation, the evolving risk landscape within the removals sector, and insights gained from our due diligence activities and supplier audits.

Where necessary, we will update our policies, contractual terms, and training materials to ensure they remain effective and relevant. Our objective is continuous improvement, supported by clear governance and accountability at the highest levels of the business.

This Statement represents the ongoing commitment of Removal Companies Harringay to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains, and it is approved by senior management as a true reflection of our current approach.
