Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made by Removal Van Finsbury Park in respect of our financial year and sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to conduct business ethically and transparently and to protect the rights and wellbeing of everyone connected to our services.
Removal Van Finsbury Park provides removal, transport, and associated services. Although we operate in a sector that is not typically considered high risk for modern slavery, we acknowledge that risks can exist in any supply chain, particularly where low-skilled, temporary, or migrant labour may be used. We are committed to continuous improvement in identifying and reducing these risks.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
We have a clear zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking. This applies to our own operations and to all individuals and organisations with whom we work, including employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners.
No form of exploitation is acceptable or will be tolerated. Any breach of this policy will be treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts, reporting to relevant authorities, and any other action considered appropriate. We expect everyone representing Removal Van Finsbury Park to act with integrity and to uphold our values at all times.
Our People and Workplace Practices
We are committed to fair and lawful employment practices. All employees have the right to work in a safe environment and to be treated with dignity and respect. We ensure that employment with Removal Van Finsbury Park is freely chosen and that all team members are of legal working age and have the legal right to work in the country where they are employed.
We provide clear information about working conditions, pay, and benefits. Wages are paid directly to employees, on time and in line with applicable laws. We do not tolerate intimidation, threats, or any form of abuse or coercion in the workplace.
Supplier Standards and Audits
Our approach to procurement is based on responsible sourcing and clear expectations of our suppliers. We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to respect human rights, to comply with relevant labour laws, and to prevent any form of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains.
We are progressively incorporating modern slavery clauses and ethical standards into our supplier onboarding and contract documents. Where appropriate, we may carry out due diligence checks and request information about suppliers practices relating to labour standards, recruitment, and working conditions.
We reserve the right to conduct audits or request evidence of compliance from suppliers, particularly where we identify higher risks due to geography, type of service, or labour profile. Where non-compliance or areas of concern are identified, we will work with suppliers to agree corrective actions. If a supplier is unwilling or unable to meet our standards within a reasonable timeframe, we may review or terminate the business relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels
Everyone connected with Removal Van Finsbury Park is encouraged to speak up if they suspect or witness any form of modern slavery or unethical labour practice. This includes employees, workers in our supply chains, and other stakeholders.
Concerns can be raised with a manager or senior member of staff, or through existing internal reporting channels. We will treat all reports seriously and, where possible, confidentially. We are committed to ensuring that no one suffers any detrimental treatment or retaliation for raising a concern in good faith about modern slavery, human rights abuses, or unethical conduct.
Training and Awareness
We aim to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our management and staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management. Training and guidance will focus on identifying warning signs, understanding reporting routes, and reinforcing our zero-tolerance stance.
Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review
The management of Removal Van Finsbury Park is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this statement and related policies. We review our practices, supplier relationships, and risk assessments on an ongoing basis, taking into account changes in legislation, guidance, and best practice.
This statement will be reviewed at least once every year to evaluate its effectiveness and to reflect any improvements we have made. As part of the annual review, we will consider feedback from staff, audit findings, supplier performance, and any reported incidents. Where necessary, we will update our processes, training, and contractual requirements to strengthen our approach.
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement has been approved by the management of Removal Van Finsbury Park and represents our continued commitment to preventing modern slavery in all aspects of our business.
