Modern Slavery Statement for Tufnell Park Movers

Tufnell Park Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for every person involved in our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address risks of slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation and expect the same standard from all contractors, suppliers, and business partners. Our approach is guided by ethics, accountability, and continuous improvement, and we regularly review our practices to ensure that our standards remain robust and effective.

Our Commitment and Risk Management

Tufnell Park Movers recognises that modern slavery can exist in many sectors and may be hidden within complex supply chains. Although our services are primarily focused on removals and logistics, we understand that risks may arise through equipment procurement, transport support, cleaning services, temporary labour, and outsourced operations. To reduce these risks, Tufnell Park Movers conducts risk assessments at the outset of supplier relationships and whenever circumstances change. We look closely at the nature of work, labour arrangements, and the countries or industries involved. Where a higher risk is identified, enhanced checks are applied to help ensure the movement business does not inadvertently contribute to exploitation.

Our supplier standards require clear evidence of lawful working practices, fair pay, age verification, and freedom of movement for workers. We do not accept forced overtime, retention of identity documents, deceptive recruitment practices, or any condition that restricts an individual’s ability to leave employment freely. Every moving contractor and service provider is expected to uphold the principles of the modern slavery policy and to cooperate fully with any request for information or audit. If concerns arise, we may suspend, investigate, or end a relationship where remedial action is not possible.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are a central part of our prevention programme. Tufnell Park Movers carries out proportionate due diligence checks before onboarding and during the life of a contract. These checks may include reviewing business registrations, labour practices, training records, recruitment procedures, and evidence of worker protections. Audits may be scheduled or unannounced depending on the risk profile of the supplier. Where appropriate, we may request site inspections, worker interviews, or documentary verification. Any supplier found to be in breach of our expectations must provide a corrective action plan within a specified timeframe, and we monitor progress until concerns are resolved or escalation is required.

We also expect suppliers to cascade equivalent standards through their own subcontractors. The responsibility to respect human rights cannot stop at the first tier of a contract. For that reason, our procurement process includes contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery law, cooperation with monitoring activity, and prompt disclosure of any suspected breach. The moving industry depends on trust and operational discipline, and we believe that disciplined oversight is essential to protect vulnerable workers and to uphold the reputation of Tufnell Park Movers.

Training is provided to managers and relevant team members so they can recognise warning signs such as unexplained wage deductions, restricted movement, fearfulness, or inconsistent identity information. By strengthening internal awareness, we improve our ability to detect risk early and respond appropriately.

Reporting Channels and Response

We encourage all employees, agency workers, suppliers, and third parties to report any concern related to modern slavery immediately. Reports may be made through internal management channels, in writing, or through designated safeguarding and compliance routes. Concerns may be raised anonymously where permitted, and all reports are treated seriously, sensitively, and without prejudice. Tufnell Park Movers prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Where allegations are received, they are assessed promptly, investigated proportionately, and escalated where necessary to protect those at risk and to support lawful remediation.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with legal and operational developments. The review examines supplier performance, audit findings, training completion, reporting trends, and any corrective actions taken during the year. Lessons learned are used to strengthen our controls and refine our supplier standards. Tufnell Park Movers is committed to continuous improvement, and we view the fight against modern slavery as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time exercise. Through vigilance, transparent reporting, and rigorous supplier oversight, we aim to support a fairer and safer working environment across every part of our business.

Approved by Tufnell Park Movers, this statement reflects our continuing determination to prevent exploitation and to uphold the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our operations.
