Modern Slavery Statement for Streatham Movers

Streatham Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the measures we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our own operations and across our supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, warehousing, cleaning, maintenance, and subcontracted services. For that reason, we apply a clear zero-tolerance policy to all forms of exploitation.

As a responsible moving company, Streatham Movers expects every employee, contractor, and supplier to uphold ethical standards. Our commitment is reinforced through recruitment checks, worker awareness, internal controls, and ongoing oversight. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation that fails to respect labour rights or that hides abusive working practices. This statement reflects our values and our determination to ensure that our business remains free from modern slavery risks.

We also understand that vigilance is essential. Modern slavery can be difficult to identify, particularly where workers are isolated, unfamiliar with local language, or dependent on third parties. Therefore, we train relevant staff to recognise indicators such as restricted movement, withheld documents, excessive hours, unexplained deductions, or signs of intimidation. By keeping these risks visible, Streatham Movers aims to respond quickly and responsibly.

Our Policies and Responsibilities

The company’s anti-slavery approach begins with clear governance. Senior management holds overall responsibility for ensuring compliance with this statement, and operational managers are expected to apply it consistently across day-to-day activities. We require honest record keeping, lawful employment practices, and appropriate right-to-work checks where relevant. Any breach of these standards is treated seriously and may lead to suspension of a relationship, disciplinary action, or termination of contract.

We have established a supplier due diligence process designed to reduce exposure to modern slavery. Before engaging a supplier, we review the nature of the services provided, labour sourcing methods, geographical risk, and any history of compliance concerns. Where appropriate, suppliers are asked to confirm their own anti-slavery controls, including worker protection measures and employment safeguards. This process helps Streatham Movers maintain confidence in the integrity of its supply chain.

In addition to initial screening, we carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may include document reviews, site visits, or requests for evidence relating to wage practices, working hours, subcontracting arrangements, and recruitment methods. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we will work with them to improve conditions where possible. If improvement is not achieved, we will take decisive action to end the relationship.

Reporting Channels and Employee Protection

Streatham Movers believes that everyone should be able to raise concerns safely. We therefore provide internal reporting channels for employees and contractors to report suspicions of modern slavery, unethical labour practices, or coercion. Concerns may be raised through line management, senior management, or designated internal reporting procedures. Reports are handled sensitively, and confidentiality is protected wherever possible.

We do not tolerate retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith. Speaking up is an important part of our safeguarding culture, and we aim to create an environment where issues can be discussed without fear. Where a report indicates potential exploitation, we will investigate promptly, document findings, and take appropriate action. If necessary, we will escalate the matter to the relevant authorities and support any required remediation.

Training is central to this effort. Staff with responsibilities in recruitment, procurement, logistics, and supplier management receive guidance on identifying warning signs and understanding their role in prevention. This helps ensure that our modern slavery controls are not merely written policies, but active tools that guide everyday decision-making across Streatham Movers.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and business practices. During each review, we assess supplier audit outcomes, reported concerns, training completion, and any changes in operational risk. Findings from this review are used to strengthen our controls and improve our response to modern slavery risks.

We are committed to continuous improvement and to maintaining a transparent approach to ethical business conduct. As Streatham Movers grows and its supply chain evolves, we will continue to update our controls, refine our supplier oversight, and reinforce our zero-tolerance position. Our aim is to protect workers, support responsible business practices, and ensure that modern slavery has no place in our company or in the services we procure.

Streatham Movers will continue to act with diligence, integrity, and accountability. Through active monitoring, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and regular review, we seek to uphold the highest standards and contribute to the wider effort to eradicate exploitation in every part of our operations.
