Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Company Kensington

Removal Company Kensington is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that a zero-tolerance policy is essential to protecting workers, maintaining trust, and ensuring that every aspect of our service reflects our values.

Our approach is guided by the belief that no person should be exploited for commercial gain. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same standards. As a moving and relocation provider, we understand that risks can exist in labour-intensive services, transport, warehousing, and subcontracted support. For that reason, we apply clear due diligence measures to identify, reduce, and address potential risks of modern slavery.

We are also committed to continuous improvement. This statement applies to all parts of our business and supports our wider responsible business practices. By promoting fairness, transparency, and accountability, Kensington removal services aim to ensure that every person involved in our work is treated with dignity and paid fairly for legitimate work.

Our zero-tolerance policy means that any form of modern slavery is strictly prohibited. No exception is permitted, whether in direct employment, subcontracting, recruitment arrangements, or goods and service procurement. If any concern is identified, we investigate promptly and take decisive action, which may include removing a supplier, ending a contract, or reporting the matter to the appropriate authorities where required.

To support this policy, Removal Company Kensington uses risk-based controls when engaging suppliers and service providers. We assess the nature of the work, the country of origin, labour practices, and the use of labour agents or intermediaries. New suppliers are screened before onboarding, and existing suppliers are periodically reviewed to ensure continued compliance with our ethical standards.

Supplier audits form a key part of our prevention strategy. Where appropriate, we conduct audits, request evidence of right-to-work checks, review wage and hour records, and confirm that working conditions meet legal and ethical expectations. We also ask suppliers to confirm that they maintain their own anti-slavery policies and carry out similar checks throughout their supply chains.

Our staff receive internal guidance so they can recognise warning signs such as withheld documents, restricted movement, unexplained deductions, coercion, or reluctance by workers to speak freely. These indicators are not proof on their own, but they help us decide when deeper review is necessary. Training and awareness are important because modern slavery can be hidden behind legitimate-looking business arrangements.

We encourage open and safe reporting channels for employees, suppliers, and others connected to our work. Concerns can be raised through internal management routes, and all reports are treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. Anyone reporting in good faith will be supported, and allegations will be reviewed promptly, fairly, and with appropriate escalation when needed.

If a concern is substantiated, we will take corrective action and monitor the outcome. That may include supplier remediation plans, additional training, closer supervision, or termination of the relationship where serious breaches are found. The aim of our Kensington removals policy is not only to respond to issues, but also to prevent them from recurring.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with evolving legal requirements and best practice. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, incident reports, staff awareness, and changes in operational risk. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls and strengthen oversight accordingly.

Senior management is responsible for overseeing implementation and ensuring that anti-slavery principles remain embedded in our culture. We believe that ethical business conduct is fundamental to reliable service and long-term partnerships. Through vigilance, supplier monitoring, and transparent accountability, Removal Company Kensington continues to support the fight against modern slavery in all forms.
