Modern Slavery Statement for Removals Tufnellpark

Removals Tufnellpark is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for all people. We recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices have no place in our operations or supply chain. This statement sets out the principles and actions that guide our approach to prevention, detection, and response.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every area of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and service delivery. We will not knowingly engage with any person or organisation involved in exploitation, coercion, deception, or abuse of vulnerability. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may lead to contract termination, disciplinary action, or referral to the appropriate authorities.

Modern slavery risks can arise in many settings, especially where labour is outsourced or supply chains are complex. For that reason, Removals Tufnell Park takes a risk-based approach to due diligence, focusing on labour providers, transport partners, storage services, and other suppliers whose activities may present greater exposure.

We expect all suppliers to meet our standards of ethical conduct and to comply with applicable employment, immigration, health and safety, and wage laws. Contract terms include clear requirements relating to lawful employment, age verification, fair pay, and the prohibition of forced, bonded, or trafficked labour. Suppliers must also maintain records that demonstrate responsible hiring and workforce management.

To support these expectations, we conduct supplier audits and periodic reviews. These may include document checks, contract assessments, site visits, and discussions with management about working conditions and recruitment practices. Where risks are identified, we require corrective action plans and monitor progress until concerns are resolved. If improvement is not achieved, the relationship may be suspended or ended.

In addition to auditing, we provide training to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, unexplained deductions, identity document retention, intimidation, or inconsistent employment arrangements. This helps ensure that the wider Removals Tufnellpark operation remains vigilant and responsive.

We also maintain clear and confidential reporting channels so that employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through management, designated safeguarding personnel, or formal whistleblowing procedures. All concerns are reviewed promptly, sensitively, and in line with our commitment to confidentiality and fairness.

Any report relating to potential exploitation is investigated without delay. Where appropriate, we will take immediate protective action, preserve relevant evidence, and cooperate with law enforcement or specialist support services. We believe that empowering people to speak up is essential to identifying risks early and preventing harm.

Modern slavery prevention is a shared responsibility. Our leaders are accountable for embedding ethical standards across the business, while managers are expected to monitor day-to-day compliance. We encourage a culture where concern-raising is seen as a duty rather than a disruption, and where respect for human rights is reflected in every decision.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with changes in law, operations, and supplier risk. During each review, we assess incidents, audit findings, training completion, and any improvements needed to strengthen controls. The outcome informs updated actions for the following year.

By maintaining a robust framework of due diligence, oversight, and accountability, Removals Tufnellpark aims to ensure that modern slavery is neither tolerated nor overlooked. We will continue to improve our safeguards, work constructively with responsible partners, and uphold the highest standards of ethical practice in all areas of the business.
