Modern Slavery Statement for Farringdon Removals
Farringdon Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain.
As a provider of relocation and logistics services, we recognise that vigilance is essential. Our approach applies to employees, contractors, and suppliers involved in transport, packing, storage, and related support services. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same from everyone we work with.
This Farringdon Removals modern slavery statement reflects our responsibility to identify risks, strengthen controls, and promote ethical conduct throughout our business. We are committed to acting promptly where concerns arise and to supporting a culture where exploitation is not accepted under any circumstances.
Our governance framework includes clear internal responsibilities for monitoring compliance and reviewing labour practices. Managers are expected to understand red flags such as restricted movement, withheld documents, excessive debt, or signs that individuals are being controlled by others. Training and awareness activities help reinforce these expectations across the organisation.
Supplier due diligence is central to our anti-slavery measures. Before engaging a new supplier, we assess business practices, ownership structure, workforce arrangements, and labour standards. Where appropriate, suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with applicable laws and share our zero-tolerance policy against modern slavery.
We also carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may include document checks, workforce interviews, and reviews of subcontracting arrangements. If concerns are identified, we seek corrective action immediately and reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made.
Our reporting channels are designed to encourage early disclosure of concerns. Employees and partners may raise issues through internal management lines or designated reporting procedures. All reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated without retaliation against those who speak up in good faith.
We expect all personnel to remain alert to indicators of exploitation, particularly where workers appear unable to leave employment freely, are paid in unusual ways, or are living under undue control. Any suspected breach of this modern slavery statement will be escalated and reviewed by senior management.
We recognise that prevention requires ongoing improvement. Therefore, our compliance programme is not static; it is reviewed regularly to ensure our controls remain relevant to the services we provide and the suppliers we use.
The annual review of this statement is led by senior leadership and considers changes in legislation, emerging risks, supplier performance, and any incidents or concerns reported during the year. Findings from the review are used to strengthen training, procurement checks, and audit activity.
Where necessary, we update our procedures to reflect lessons learned and to improve our ability to detect and address risks. This includes reinforcing the expectations placed on contractors and subcontractors, particularly where outsourced services may involve vulnerable workers.
Farringdon Removals remains committed to responsible business conduct and to the continuous improvement of our anti-slavery measures. Through a firm zero-tolerance policy, targeted supplier audits, reliable reporting channels, and a thorough annual review, we aim to help prevent modern slavery from occurring in any part of our business or supply chain.
