Modern Slavery Statement

Finsburypark Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Finsburypark Removals to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect any sector, including the removals industry, where workers may be vulnerable to coercion, withheld pay, unsafe conditions, or deceptive recruitment practices.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every part of the business. We do not accept, support, or knowingly engage with any practice that involves slavery, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or any form of forced work. This commitment is embedded in our internal policies, workforce training, and procurement decisions. Every employee, contractor, and supplier is expected to uphold the same standards.

As part of our wider approach to responsible trading, Finsburypark Removals requires due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. We assess modern slavery risks before entering into agreements and continue to monitor suppliers throughout the relationship. This includes reviewing labour practices, right-to-work processes, wage arrangements, subcontracting controls, and evidence of ethical employment. Where concerns are identified, we seek immediate clarification and may suspend or end the relationship if standards are not met.

Supply Chain Controls and Oversight

We understand that a removals company may rely on transport partners, cleaning providers, storage services, and other third parties. For this reason, our supplier audits are designed to identify risk and strengthen accountability. Audits may include document checks, policy reviews, and targeted questions about recruitment methods, working hours, pay, and worker protections. Where appropriate, we request corrective action plans and follow-up evidence to confirm improvement.

Our procurement practices are aligned with our commitment to ethical sourcing. We prefer suppliers that demonstrate transparent labour standards, lawful employment, and a willingness to cooperate with audits. Any supplier failing to meet our expectations may be required to undergo additional review. In serious cases, we will terminate the arrangement. This approach helps ensure that modern slavery prevention is not limited to policy language but supported by practical enforcement.

We also provide clear reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspicion of exploitation, unsafe recruitment, coercion, or unethical labour practices. Reports may be made through line management, senior leadership, or designated internal reporting procedures. All concerns are handled seriously, investigated promptly, and treated with appropriate confidentiality and protection from retaliation.

Training, Monitoring, and Accountability

Training is an important part of our anti-slavery framework. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs, understanding risk areas, and responding appropriately to concerns. Managers are expected to lead by example and ensure that our standards are consistently applied across operations and procurement. We also review our recruitment processes to confirm that workers are hired lawfully and treated fairly throughout their employment.

Accountability for this statement sits with senior management, who oversee implementation and monitor the effectiveness of controls. Modern slavery risks are reviewed alongside broader ethical, legal, and operational risks. We believe that prevention depends on active oversight, continual learning, and a willingness to respond decisively when concerns arise. The removals sector must protect the people who help deliver essential services, and we take that responsibility seriously.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with current law and best practice. During each review, we consider any incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, training needs, and changes to our business model or supply chain. We update our controls where necessary and strengthen our approach to reduce the risk of exploitation. Finsburypark Removals is committed to continuous improvement and to maintaining a workplace and supply chain free from modern slavery.
