Modern Slavery Statement — Removals Chiswick Commitment

Removals Chiswick is committed to eradicating modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy and the steps we take to prevent exploitation in all forms. We operate removals in Chiswick with a clear expectation that all staff, contractors and partners adhere to the highest ethical standards. We will not tolerate any form of modern slavery and will take decisive action where concerns arise, including termination of contracts and referral to authorities where appropriate.

Our policy covers all activities carried out by Chiswick removals teams and associated services. We make use of risk-based due diligence and pre-engagement checks for new suppliers and subcontractors. As part of our recruitment and onboarding processes we ensure that all workers engaged directly by Removals Chiswick have proof of identity, lawful right to work and receive fair pay for their work. We maintain records and audit trails to demonstrate compliance with our employment and procurement standards.

We require every supplier and partner to comply with our anti-slavery requirements through contractual clauses and published terms. Supplier audits form a core element of our approach: we perform regular, documented supplier audits that evaluate working conditions, recruitment practices and subcontracting arrangements. Audit outcomes inform corrective action plans and ongoing monitoring. Where suppliers fail to demonstrate improvement, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships to protect workers and maintain ethical standards throughout our removals Chiswick network.

Reporting channels are available to all employees, agency workers and third parties who wish to raise concerns. We operate confidential and secure reporting mechanisms, including internal escalation routes and anonymous channels. Reports are investigated promptly by designated compliance personnel and treated with sensitivity. Anyone raising concerns in good faith will be protected from retaliation; we encourage early reporting to allow timely intervention and remedy.

How to Report and What We Do

Our reporting framework includes:

• Internal escalation through managers and HR for immediate safety concerns relevant to removals in Chiswick;
• Confidential whistleblowing routes that protect anonymity for those reporting exploitation observed within Chiswick removal services;
• Escalation to regulatory authorities when criminal activity or serious breaches are identified.

We provide training for all colleagues on recognising signs of modern slavery and the appropriate steps to report. Regular refresher sessions ensure that our Chiswick removal services stay alert to emerging risks and localised vulnerabilities.

Monitoring, Review and Continuous Improvement

Removals Chiswick conducts an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our wider safeguarding approach. The review assesses the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, and reporting channels, and includes analysis of incidents, audit findings and training uptake. Findings are reported to senior management and used to update policies, strengthen contractual terms and improve operational controls. We commit to transparency in our practices and to evolving our approach in line with best practice and regulatory expectations.

In closing, our combined efforts — from practical supplier audits to confidential reporting routes and a formal annual review — underpin our determination to prevent modern slavery in all parts of the business. Removals Chiswick will continue to embed ethical sourcing, robust monitoring and decisive action to protect workers, support survivors and maintain community trust in our Chiswick removal services.
