Modern Slavery Statement
Modern Slavery Statement for Movers Brixton
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Movers Brixton to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships, and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery does not take place anywhere in our organisation or in any part of our supply chains.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Movers Brixton has a clear zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude and human trafficking. This applies to our own operations, our employees, agency workers, contractors, and every supplier or business partner that supports our services. We expect all individuals and organisations that work with us or on our behalf to share this commitment and uphold the same high standards.
Any breach of this policy by staff may result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Any supplier or business partner found to be involved in modern slavery or failing to take adequate steps to prevent it may have their contract reviewed or terminated.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Movers Brixton operates in the removals and related services sector. Our activities rely on a range of suppliers and contractors, including vehicle providers, equipment suppliers, temporary labour agencies, facilities and maintenance providers, and other professional services. We recognise that modern slavery can occur at any stage of a supply chain and we are committed to identifying and addressing risks with a proactive and proportionate approach.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers to operate in full compliance with applicable labour, employment and human rights laws. As part of our approach, we require new and existing suppliers to confirm that they do not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking and that they have measures in place to prevent such abuses.
Movers Brixton conducts risk-based supplier checks and audits, which may include requests for information on labour practices, recruitment methods, use of subcontractors, and working conditions. Where appropriate, we may ask for evidence of policies, training, and due diligence carried out by suppliers in their own supply chains.
If a supplier is unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate controls, we will take appropriate steps, which may include implementing corrective action plans, placing additional conditions on the relationship, or in serious cases, ending the business relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage all employees, workers, suppliers and other business partners to report any concerns about potential or suspected modern slavery in our own operations or in our supply chains. Concerns can be raised through internal management channels or directly to senior management. Reports may be made confidentially, and we will treat all concerns seriously and sensitively.
Movers Brixton will investigate reports promptly and, where necessary, take appropriate action to protect individuals and address any identified risks. We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith or who assists in an investigation.
Training and Awareness
We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks within our workforce. Relevant staff are informed about the signs of modern slavery, how to manage supplier relationships responsibly, and how to report concerns. We seek to embed respect for human rights into our culture and day-to-day decision making.
Monitoring, Governance and Annual Review
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with the senior management of Movers Brixton. They monitor the effectiveness of our policies, supplier due diligence, and any reported concerns or incidents.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of the annual review, we consider any incidents, audit findings, and feedback from staff and stakeholders. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures, training and supplier requirements accordingly.
This statement reflects the ongoing commitment of Movers Brixton to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking and to promote ethical, transparent and responsible business practices throughout our operations and supply chains.
