Modern Slavery Statement
Tufnell Park Movers Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Tufnell Park Movers to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to ensure that all individuals involved in our business are treated with dignity, respect, and fairness.
Tufnell Park Movers provides moving and relocation services and works with a range of suppliers, including vehicle providers, equipment suppliers, facilities management partners, and labour agencies. We are committed to conducting business ethically and transparently, and to continually improving our approach to identifying and addressing the risks of modern slavery.
Zero-Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery
We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and servitude. This commitment applies to our own operations and to every aspect of our supply chain. Any breach of this policy is considered a serious violation of our values and standards.
We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to share this commitment. Where we identify non-compliance or credible concerns about modern slavery, we will take appropriate action, which may include suspension or termination of relationships and reporting relevant concerns to the appropriate authorities.
Our Policies and Governance
Our stance against modern slavery is supported by internal policies on ethical conduct, recruitment, health and safety, and whistleblowing. These policies reinforce fair treatment, voluntary employment, appropriate working conditions, and transparent pay practices.
Managers at all levels are responsible for ensuring that their teams understand and comply with these policies. Training and communication are used to raise awareness of modern slavery risks, signs of exploitation, and the procedures for escalating concerns.
Supplier Standards and Audits
Tufnell Park Movers is committed to working only with suppliers who uphold lawful and ethical labour practices. We expect our suppliers to comply with all applicable laws on employment, safety, and human rights, and to prevent slavery and human trafficking in their own operations and supply chains.
To support this, we apply due diligence processes when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This may include risk assessments based on location, sector, and type of service; requests for information on labour practices; and contractual obligations requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws.
We conduct periodic audits and checks of higher-risk suppliers to verify adherence to our standards. Where necessary, we work with suppliers on corrective action plans. If improvements are not made within an agreed timeframe, we reserve the right to reconsider or terminate the business relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Protection for Whistleblowers
We encourage anyone working for or with Tufnell Park Movers to report any concerns or suspicions about modern slavery, exploitation, or unethical behaviour. This includes our employees, agency workers, contractors, and individuals within our supply chains.
Concerns can be raised through our internal reporting channels or directly to a line manager or senior manager. All reports are taken seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly where appropriate.
No person will suffer dismissal, disciplinary action, or other negative treatment for raising a concern in good faith about modern slavery or related issues. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring they are supported throughout any investigation process.
Training and Awareness
We aim to build awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, especially those involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment. Training and guidance are provided to help employees recognise indicators of exploitation, understand our zero-tolerance policy, and use reporting channels effectively.
By promoting a culture of openness and responsibility, we seek to ensure that concerns are identified and addressed at the earliest opportunity.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Tufnell Park Movers recognises that combating modern slavery is an ongoing process. We are committed to continually improving our approach by reviewing risks, strengthening controls, and engaging with suppliers and stakeholders on best practice.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once a year to assess the effectiveness of our measures and to reflect changes in legislation, guidance, and our business operations. Following each review, we will update our actions and commitments where necessary to enhance our safeguards against modern slavery.
This statement represents the commitment of Tufnell Park Movers to act ethically, to respect human rights, and to play our part in eradicating modern slavery in all its forms.
