Modern Slavery Statement for Harringay Removals

Harringay Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that a hiring and removals business may rely on a wide network of workers, subcontractors, and suppliers, and we take our responsibilities seriously.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every part of our business. We do not tolerate any form of modern slavery, whether direct or indirect, and we expect the same standards from everyone we work with. Harringay Removals requires managers, employees, and suppliers to act in accordance with this policy and to report any concerns promptly.

We apply robust due diligence when selecting suppliers and contractors. Before entering into or renewing relationships, we assess risks linked to labour practices, recruitment methods, and working conditions. Supplier audits are carried out on a risk-based approach, which may include document checks, worker interviews, and reviews of payroll and working hours. Where we identify weaknesses, we require corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if concerns are not addressed.

Our commitment extends throughout the supply chain, including transport partners, storage providers, disposal services, and other business associates. We aim to work only with organisations that share our values and demonstrate ethical employment practices. In support of this, Harringay Removals includes anti-slavery requirements in relevant contracts and monitors compliance regularly. This approach helps us reduce the risk of exploitation and maintain responsible business standards.

We provide clear reporting channels so that anyone connected with our business can raise concerns in confidence. Allegations may be reported to management through internal procedures, and all concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion. We encourage early reporting because it allows us to act quickly, protect vulnerable people, and improve our controls.

Training and awareness are also important to our prevention efforts. Staff in relevant roles receive information on identifying warning signs such as unexplained restriction of movement, withholding of wages, lack of personal documents, or signs of coercion. Modern slavery risks are reviewed as part of our wider compliance activity so that our people remain alert and informed.

We recognise that effective governance requires regular oversight. For that reason, this statement and the measures supporting it are subject to an annual review. Each year, Harringay Removals assesses the effectiveness of our procedures, supplier checks, training, and reporting arrangements. We use the findings to improve our approach and strengthen our prevention measures.

Our leadership is responsible for ensuring this statement remains current and meaningful. If risks increase or our business changes, we will adapt our controls accordingly. We believe that a strong anti-slavery culture begins with accountability, careful screening, and consistent action across the organisation.

By maintaining a firm zero-tolerance stance, strengthening supplier audits, supporting safe reporting channels, and carrying out an annual review, Harringay Removals demonstrates its ongoing commitment to ethical practice. This modern slavery statement reflects our determination to help prevent exploitation in all forms.
