Modern Slavery Statement for Fulham Removals
Fulham Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and other forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that removal services can involve multiple workers, subcontractors, and suppliers, which makes vigilance essential. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every part of the business, and we expect the same standard from everyone acting on our behalf.
Our policy is grounded in the principle that no person should be made to work through coercion, deception, debt bondage, or threats. We support ethical employment, fair recruitment, lawful wages, and safe working conditions. All managers are responsible for identifying risks, and all staff are expected to understand the warning signs of exploitation. This modern slavery approach is part of our wider commitment to responsible business practice.
We also recognise that the risk of slavery and trafficking may appear in labour supply chains, vehicle support services, packaging procurement, and subcontracted operations. For that reason, Fulham Removals applies due diligence to new and existing suppliers. Before engagement, we assess labour standards, ownership structures, and compliance with employment law. Where needed, we request supporting documentation to verify that workers are engaged lawfully and treated fairly.
Supplier monitoring continues throughout the commercial relationship. We may carry out supplier audits, either directly or through reviewed documentation, to confirm standards relating to pay, hours, identity checks, accommodation where relevant, and worker welfare. If concerns arise, we require corrective action within a defined period and reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship if serious breaches are found. Non-compliance is never accepted.
Training is provided to help teams recognise indicators of exploitation, such as restricted freedom of movement, intimidation, inconsistent pay, or unusual dependency on a manager or recruiter. A modern slavery statement is only effective when supported by practical awareness, so we encourage staff to remain alert during recruitment, onboarding, and daily operations. We also review our internal processes to reduce the risk of hidden exploitation.
Reporting concerns is essential to our safeguarding approach. Fulham Removals maintains clear reporting channels so that employees, suppliers, and other business partners can raise issues in good faith. Reports may be made confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Any concern is treated seriously, investigated promptly, and escalated where necessary. We aim to protect individuals, preserve evidence, and cooperate with relevant authorities when appropriate.
The company???s leadership is responsible for overseeing this statement and ensuring that our anti-slavery controls remain effective. We keep records of risk assessments, supplier checks, training activity, and any remediation taken. This allows us to track performance over time and strengthen our response to emerging risks. Our statement also reflects the expectation that modern slavery prevention must be embedded into everyday decision-making, not treated as a one-off exercise.
We conduct an annual review of our controls, policies, and supply chain practices to ensure continued relevance and effectiveness. This review considers legal updates, operational changes, audit findings, and any reported incidents. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures and communicate the changes internally. Fulham Removals believes that continual improvement is vital to maintaining a responsible and resilient business.
By maintaining a zero-tolerance stance, strengthening supplier oversight, offering safe reporting routes, and completing an annual review, Fulham Removals reaffirms its commitment to ethical conduct. We will continue working to prevent exploitation in our operations and supply chain, and we expect all those connected with our business to uphold the same standards. This statement represents our ongoing pledge to support dignity, compliance, and respect for every worker.
