Modern Slavery Statement for Hackney Removals

Hackney Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the removals and logistics sector can involve complex labour arrangements, which is why Hackney removal services must remain vigilant and proactive.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers. We do not accept any form of slavery, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or coercion. Every person working on behalf of Hackney removals is expected to uphold lawful and ethical employment standards. We also ensure that recruitment decisions are made fairly, with proper right-to-work checks and clear records kept throughout the process.

To strengthen compliance, we assess suppliers before engagement and continue to monitor them throughout the relationship. Supplier audits may include reviewing labour practices, wage records, identity checks, working hours, and subcontracting arrangements. Where risks are identified, we require prompt corrective action and reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship if standards are not met.

We expect all business partners to share our commitment to ethical conduct. Hackney Removals Ltd asks suppliers to confirm that they operate in line with applicable modern slavery laws and maintain safe, fair, and lawful working conditions. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, training, and due diligence measures to support our assessment.

The company also provides clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees and workers are encouraged to report suspicions, unsafe practices, or signs of exploitation through internal management routes or formal whistleblowing procedures. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with confidentiality and care.

Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, and contract management receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as unusually high fees, restricted movement, retention of documents, or inconsistent pay. By improving awareness across Hackney removals company operations, we reduce the risk of exploitation entering our workforce or supply chain.

Our approach is overseen by senior management, who are responsible for ensuring that anti-slavery controls remain effective. This includes reviewing due diligence outcomes, tracking remediation actions, and ensuring that any suspected breach is escalated quickly. Hackney removals services will continue to improve these controls as business needs, legislation, and risk levels change.

We also recognise that modern slavery prevention is an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time exercise. For that reason, this statement will be reviewed annually to confirm its continued relevance and to identify improvements in policy, training, supplier management, and reporting processes. Any updates will reflect lessons learned from audits, investigations, and changes within our operations.

As part of our annual review, we evaluate whether our response to emerging risks remains effective and proportionate. If weaknesses are found, we act quickly to strengthen safeguards and reinforce our ethical business standards. Our aim is to ensure that Hackney Removals remains a responsible employer and a trusted service provider.

This statement demonstrates our determination to prevent modern slavery in every area we control or influence. We will continue to promote transparency, lawful employment, and respect for human dignity across our teams and supply chain. In doing so, Hackney removal specialists maintain a clear and uncompromising stance against exploitation, now and in the future.
