Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Companies Queen's Park

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Removal Companies Queen's Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically, with integrity and transparency in all business relationships, and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place in any part of our business.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Removal Companies Queen's Park operates a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, servitude, deceptive recruitment, and any exploitation of vulnerable individuals. We expect all employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners to share this commitment.

Every person who works for or on behalf of Removal Companies Queen's Park must respect the rights and dignity of all individuals. We do not tolerate any practice that is inconsistent with fundamental human rights, and any suspected breach of this policy will be investigated and, where appropriate, reported to relevant authorities.

Our Operations and Supply Chain

Our core activities involve providing residential and commercial removal services, including packing, transportation, and related logistics. Our supply chain includes, but is not limited to, vehicle providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and materials suppliers, storage facilities, agency staff providers, and other professional services.

We recognise that modern slavery risks may arise in areas such as temporary labour, subcontracted services, and the sourcing of goods and materials. We are committed to identifying, assessing, and managing these risks in a proactive and responsible manner.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We conduct due diligence on new suppliers and review existing suppliers to ensure they operate in line with our ethical standards. As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing management, we may request information regarding their labour practices, recruitment processes, and adherence to applicable employment and human rights legislation.

Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits, which may include site visits, review of policies and procedures, and discussions with key personnel. Suppliers considered to be at higher risk of modern slavery are subject to enhanced scrutiny. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we will work with them to implement corrective actions or, if necessary, review and potentially terminate the relationship.

Employee Awareness and Reporting Channels

We aim to ensure that all employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and contract management, understand the signs of modern slavery and know how to respond if they have concerns. This includes awareness-building through internal guidance and clear communication of our zero-tolerance approach.

Removal Companies Queen's Park maintains internal reporting channels to allow employees, contractors, and other stakeholders to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports can be made confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All concerns raised will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and appropriate action will be taken where necessary.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that combating modern slavery is an ongoing process, requiring continuous improvement and vigilance. We regularly evaluate the effectiveness of our policies, procedures, and controls to reduce the risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chain.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by our leadership team to ensure it remains current, effective, and reflective of our business activities and risk profile. As part of each review, we consider any incidents reported, audit findings, changes in legislation, and feedback from employees and suppliers. Where improvement opportunities are identified, we will update our practices and communicate relevant changes across the business.

By publishing this statement, Removal Companies Queen's Park reaffirms its commitment to upholding human rights, eliminating modern slavery, and promoting ethical conduct in all aspects of our work.
