Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Van Kensington
Removal Van Kensington is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by Removal Van Kensington services to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many sectors and at different levels of a business network, so we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines the dignity and freedom of workers.
Our Commitment
As a trusted removal van Kensington provider, we expect the highest standards of conduct from our staff, contractors, and business partners. Our commitment applies to recruitment, working conditions, pay, subcontracting, and procurement. We require every individual involved in our operations to act ethically, follow employment laws, and avoid any arrangement that could create vulnerability or abuse. Where risks are identified, we respond promptly and decisively.
Zero-Tolerance Policy
Removal Van Kensington operates a clear zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. This means we do not accept forced labour, debt bondage, withheld identity documents, unsafe recruitment fees, or any coercive practice. Our teams are trained to recognise warning signs, including restricted movement, poor living conditions, unexplained wage deductions, or workers appearing unable to speak freely. Any confirmed breach may lead to termination of contracts and referral to the relevant authorities.Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect suppliers to uphold the same principles. Before engagement, suppliers are assessed against ethical labour and compliance criteria. Supplier audits are carried out on a risk-based schedule, with higher-risk categories reviewed more frequently. These audits may include document checks, worker interviews, verification of subcontracting arrangements, and confirmation that recruitment practices are lawful. If a supplier fails to meet our requirements, we set corrective actions, monitor progress, and suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made.
Reporting Channels
We encourage anyone connected with our van removal Kensington operations to report concerns about exploitation, unethical recruitment, or unsafe labour practices. Concerns can be raised through line management, senior oversight, or internal reporting routes designed to allow issues to be escalated without delay. Reports are handled seriously, investigated promptly, and treated with discretion. Individuals raising concerns in good faith are protected from retaliation, victimisation, or unfair treatment.Staff Responsibility All employees and contractors share responsibility for supporting this statement. Training is provided so that teams understand the risks linked to modern slavery and know how to identify and report concerns. We also review onboarding procedures to ensure that right-to-work checks, wage arrangements, and subcontractor approvals remain robust. By maintaining vigilance across daily operations, Removal Van Kensington reduces the likelihood of exploitation entering our business.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
The effectiveness of this statement is reviewed annually. During each review, we assess changes in legal expectations, industry risks, supplier performance, and the outcome of any investigations or audits. Findings are used to improve policies, training, and monitoring controls. This ongoing review ensures that the Removal Van Kensington modern slavery statement remains relevant, practical, and aligned with our commitment to ethical conduct.
