Modern Slavery Statement for Movers Tufnell Park
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach taken by Movers Tufnell Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights, protect vulnerable individuals, and promote fair and safe working conditions in every aspect of our moving and relocation services.
Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Movers Tufnell Park has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to conducting business with integrity and to ensuring that all people working within our operations or on our behalf are treated with dignity and respect. Any form of exploitation is fundamentally incompatible with our values and the standards we expect from our employees, contractors, and suppliers.
We expect all those who provide goods or services to us, or who act in our name, to uphold the same high standards. Where we identify non-compliance with our zero-tolerance stance, we will take prompt and decisive action, which may include suspension or termination of the business relationship.
Our Operations and Supply Chains
Our primary activities include domestic and commercial removals, packing, storage arrangements, and associated logistics. While much of our work is delivered directly by our own staff, we also work with a network of suppliers and subcontractors, including providers of vehicles, packing materials, storage facilities, and specialist labour. We recognise that risks of modern slavery can arise at different points in these supply chains, particularly where there is reliance on temporary labour or low-wage sectors.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws and to adhere to our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. As part of our supplier approval and ongoing management processes, we assess the practices and reputations of our key partners. We seek to work only with organisations that can demonstrate a commitment to ethical conduct and transparent labour practices.
Movers Tufnell Park is developing proportionate audit activities for higher-risk suppliers. These may include requests for written confirmations of compliance, evidence of workforce policies, and details of how suppliers monitor their own subcontractors. Where appropriate, we may conduct site visits or request further information to verify working conditions and recruitment practices. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to address reasonable concerns, we will review the continuation of the relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage all employees, workers, contractors, and any other stakeholders to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical labour practices as soon as they become aware of them. Concerns may relate to our own operations or to the conduct of any third party acting on our behalf.
Reports can be made through established internal reporting channels, including direct escalation to line managers or senior management. Concerns may be raised in confidence, and we will not tolerate any victimisation or retaliation against individuals who report issues in good faith. All reported concerns will be reviewed promptly and fairly, and appropriate action will be taken where necessary, which may include investigation, remediation, and notification to relevant authorities.
Training and Awareness
We are working to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management. Training and guidance are designed to help team members recognise indicators of exploitation, understand how to respond to concerns, and uphold the company’s ethical standards in their day-to-day decisions.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
Movers Tufnell Park is committed to continuous improvement in tackling modern slavery risks. We will review this Modern Slavery Statement at least once every year to ensure that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of the annual review, we will consider any incidents or concerns raised, the outcomes of supplier assessments, and feedback from staff and stakeholders. Where necessary, we will update our policies, procedures, and training to strengthen our approach and further protect vulnerable workers.
This statement reflects the commitment of Movers Tufnell Park to conduct business responsibly, to help prevent modern slavery, and to promote respect for human rights across our operations and supply chains.
