Haringey Removals Modern Slavery Statement

Haringey Removals publishes this modern slavery statement to reaffirm our absolute opposition to forced labour, human trafficking and all forms of exploitation across our operations. Our commitment as a local removals business is clear: a zero-tolerance policy is embedded into our values, procurement and contractor relationships. We set out how our anti-slavery policy is applied, the steps taken to assess and address risks, and the expectations we place on our team and supply chain.

We recognise that a Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement should be actionable and measurable. To that end, our board and senior management maintain responsibility for compliance with this anti-slavery statement, and we ensure mandatory awareness training for personnel involved in recruitment, supplier selection and on-site supervision. This document makes explicit the standards we demand and the mechanisms we deploy to prevent slavery in any form.

Our statement on modern slavery covers employees, subcontractors and third-party suppliers. We require all suppliers to adopt equivalent protections and to confirm, in writing, that they do not engage in forced labour and that they uphold workers' rights. Any breach of our supplier code or evidence of exploitation triggers immediate investigation and remedial action, up to termination of contract.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Expectations

Haringey Removals enforces a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We will not tolerate exploitation in our workforce, from subcontracted teams or within the products and services we source. All staff are encouraged to report concerns; we protect whistleblowers and will take disciplinary or legal action where appropriate. Our zero-tolerance approach is non-negotiable and is integrated into procurement clauses, employee handbooks and contractor agreements.

We operate a risk-based approach to identify areas where forced labour or trafficking could occur, particularly where labour is sourced through third parties or in temporary placements. Regular audits and on-site visits form part of our monitoring and prevention programme. We use clear contractual obligations, verification checks and worker interviews where needed to validate compliance with our modern slavery policy.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We apply a graduated due diligence process when engaging suppliers and subcontractors. This includes:

• Pre-engagement checks and declaration of compliance with our anti-slavery policy
• Periodic supplier audits and risk assessments focused on labour practices
• Contractual audit rights and corrective action plans where issues are identified

Reporting Channels and Protections

We maintain confidential reporting channels for employees and contractors to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports may be raised internally through designated compliance officers and are treated seriously, with prompt investigation. We emphasise that reports can be made without fear of retaliation; safeguarding the reporter and any vulnerable worker is a key priority.

Our reporting procedures are complemented by formal escalation pathways to senior management and, if necessary, to relevant authorities. We also provide guidance on recognising signs of exploitation and ensure any identified victims are referred to appropriate support services. These reporting channels are an essential element of our anti-trafficking efforts and our broader modern slavery defence strategy.

Haringey Removals conducts an annual review of this policy and our operational measures to ensure continued effectiveness. The review examines audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and training completion rates to determine where further improvements are required. Findings from the annual review inform updates to our procedures, supplier contracts and staff training curriculum to strengthen prevention and remediation.

We will continue to develop our controls, invest in supplier engagement and share learning across the business. This modern slavery and human trafficking statement represents our ongoing pledge: to act swiftly on any sign of exploitation, to insist on ethical supply chains and to maintain transparent, enforceable standards. Haringey Removals remains resolute in preventing modern slavery in all aspects of our operations, and in holding ourselves and our partners accountable.
