Modern Slavery Statement for Removals Marylebone

At Removals Marylebone, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment.

Our business expects the highest ethical standards from everyone who works with or for us. This includes employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers engaged in removal services, transport, storage, packing materials, and related support functions. We aim to ensure that Removals Marylebone operates responsibly and that every commercial relationship reflects our values of transparency, accountability, and lawful conduct.

Our Policy and Commitment

We have implemented a clear policy that prohibits all forms of modern slavery. This policy applies across the company and is embedded into onboarding, supplier selection, and internal decision-making. Any breach of our policy is treated seriously and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, or reporting to the appropriate authorities where necessary.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We carry out risk-based checks on suppliers and subcontractors to ensure they meet our standards. These checks may include reviewing business credentials, assessing labour practices, and confirming that workers are employed voluntarily and fairly. Where appropriate, supplier audits are conducted to verify compliance, identify risks, and support remediation where issues are found.

We recognise that risk can be higher in areas such as temporary labour, logistics, and outsourced services. For this reason, Removals Marylebone monitors suppliers proportionately and expects them to maintain their own controls against exploitation. We ask suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced labour, child labour, or deceptive recruitment practices, and that they comply with all applicable employment laws.

Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may require corrective action plans, enhanced monitoring, or immediate disengagement if standards are not met. Our goal is not only to identify risk, but also to prevent harm through consistent oversight and ethical partnership management.

Training, Reporting, and Accountability

Our staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs of modern slavery and understanding their responsibilities under this statement. We promote awareness of unusual recruitment fees, restricted movement, withheld identity documents, intimidation, or signs that a worker may not be free to leave employment. These indicators are taken seriously and escalated through internal procedures.

We provide reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees and suppliers are encouraged to report suspicions without fear of retaliation. All reports are reviewed promptly, and concerns are investigated with sensitivity and discretion. If a matter involves potential criminal conduct, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and take immediate protective steps where appropriate.

Accountability sits at the heart of our approach. Senior management reviews modern slavery risks, monitors progress, and ensures that our controls remain effective. We believe that Removals Marylebone must lead by example, fostering a culture where ethical conduct is expected and where exploitation has no place in our business.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We will review this statement annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with our risk profile and legal obligations. The annual review will consider changes in operations, supplier networks, industry practices, and identified risks. It will also assess whether our training, due diligence, and reporting arrangements require improvement.

As part of continuous improvement, we will update our internal processes where necessary, strengthen supplier oversight, and refresh staff guidance to reflect emerging risks. This ongoing work is essential to maintaining the integrity of Removals Marylebone and reinforcing our commitment to responsible business conduct.

Through this statement, Removals Marylebone reaffirms its zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery. We will continue to act with vigilance, challenge non-compliance, and uphold the rights and welfare of every person connected to our business.
