Modern Slavery Statement for Camden Removals

Camden 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 slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, storage, cleaning, and temporary labour. For that reason, our approach is based on vigilance, accountability, and continuous improvement.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies to our employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers. Any breach of this commitment is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of employment, suspension of a contract, or removal from our approved supplier list. Our leadership team is responsible for ensuring that the Camden Removals slavery statement is embedded into everyday decision-making and that ethical conduct remains a core business principle.

To help uphold these standards, we expect all personnel to act with honesty, diligence, and respect. We also provide appropriate awareness training so staff can identify warning signs, such as withholding of wages, restricted movement, coercion, or unsafe working conditions. The aim of our Camden Removals modern slavery statement is not only to set expectations, but also to create a culture where concerns are recognised early and acted upon promptly.

Our supplier management process is designed to reduce risk throughout the supply chain. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their business practices, labour arrangements, and compliance history. This includes a review of ownership, workforce conditions, and any relevant policies on ethical employment. High-risk relationships are subject to enhanced scrutiny, and existing suppliers may be re-evaluated if concerns arise. Supplier audits are carried out on a risk-based basis, including document checks, workforce reviews, and verification of labour sourcing practices where appropriate.

We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to preventing exploitation and to maintain their own effective controls against modern slavery. Contracts may include clear clauses requiring compliance with relevant laws and ethical standards. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable safeguards, we may require corrective action plans, increased monitoring, or a formal exit from the relationship. Our Camden Removals anti-slavery policy extends beyond direct operations because we understand that risks can appear anywhere in the chain.

Reporting concerns is essential to maintaining an ethical workplace. We encourage anyone who suspects misconduct to raise the issue without delay through internal reporting channels, including line management, senior leadership, or designated safeguarding routes. Reports may be made confidentially, and we prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. All reports are reviewed promptly, documented carefully, and investigated in line with internal procedures.

Where a concern suggests possible modern slavery, Camden Removals will take immediate steps to assess the situation and protect affected individuals. These steps may include suspending a supplier relationship, escalating the matter to the appropriate authorities, and cooperating with investigations where required. Our approach is grounded in the belief that ethical practice must be practical, transparent, and responsive. Modern slavery prevention is a shared responsibility, and we expect all managers to promote awareness and support compliance across their teams.

We also review business processes that may create vulnerability, such as recruitment, subcontracting, and the use of temporary labour. By checking documentation, confirming right-to-work practices, and ensuring that wages and working hours are lawful and fair, we reduce the risk of exploitation. These controls form part of our wider slavery and human trafficking statement and help maintain trust throughout the business.

The effectiveness of this statement is reviewed annually by senior management. This review considers any reported concerns, audit findings, supplier performance, training activity, and changes in legislation or best practice. If improvements are needed, we update our controls, policies, and oversight measures accordingly. Annual review ensures our response remains current, proportionate, and effective.

Camden Removals will continue to strengthen its safeguards against modern slavery and human trafficking through responsible leadership, careful supplier oversight, and a clear reporting culture. We are committed to acting ethically, learning from experience, and maintaining standards that protect people at every stage of our operations. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to fairness, dignity, and respect in all that we do.
