Modern Slavery Statement for Harringay Movers

Harringay Movers is committed to operating with integrity, respect, and zero tolerance toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, and exploitation in any form. As a responsible removals and logistics business, we recognise that our activities can involve multiple people, suppliers, and service partners. That is why this Harringay Movers modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to reduce risk, promote ethical conduct, and ensure that dignity and fairness remain central to our operations.

We understand that modern slavery can occur in hidden ways across supply chains, recruitment practices, and subcontracting arrangements. To address this, Harringay Movers maintains clear internal standards, trains relevant staff to identify warning signs, and expects everyone connected to the business to uphold lawful and ethical working conditions. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time commitment; it is an ongoing responsibility that shapes how we select partners, manage risk, and review performance.

Our policy applies to all employees, agency workers, subcontractors, and suppliers. We require that employment is freely chosen, wages are fair and lawful, working hours are reasonable, and workers are treated with respect. We also prohibit the use of child labour or any deceptive recruitment practice. In line with our ethical values, Harringay Movers will take action wherever there is reason to believe abuse, coercion, or exploitation may be present.

Supplier Oversight and Risk Management

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our approach. Before working with a new supplier, Harringay Movers assesses the nature of the service, the country or sector risk, and any indicators of labour abuse. We seek assurance that suppliers share our anti-slavery principles and maintain suitable controls to protect workers. Where necessary, we request documentation relating to labour standards, recruitment practices, and subcontracting arrangements.

To strengthen this process, we carry out supplier audits and periodic reviews based on risk level. These audits may include document checks, questionnaires, and site visits where appropriate. If a supplier is found to fall short of our expectations, we will require corrective action within a defined timeframe. Where serious concerns arise, Harringay Movers may suspend or end the relationship in order to protect people and uphold our standards.

We also monitor higher-risk areas such as temporary labour, outsourced transport support, and labour brokers. By reviewing these relationships carefully, we aim to reduce the possibility of hidden exploitation. Harringay Movers believes that effective oversight is essential to responsible business conduct and that ethical supply chains are built through consistency, transparency, and follow-through.

Reporting Channels and Employee Responsibility

Everyone working with or for Harringay Movers has a role in preventing modern slavery. We encourage staff to remain alert to signs such as restricted movement, intimidation, document withholding, unsafe accommodation, unusual dependency on an employer, or reluctance to speak openly. These indicators do not always prove abuse, but they warrant prompt attention and careful review.

We maintain confidential reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of reprisal. Reports may be made through internal management routes or by using designated whistleblowing procedures. Allegations are handled sensitively, investigated promptly, and escalated where necessary. Retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern is not tolerated. Harringay Movers is committed to creating an environment where speaking up is safe and supported.

Training is provided to relevant team members to help them understand the risks of modern slavery and how to respond appropriately. Managers are expected to lead by example, ensure policies are followed, and support a culture of vigilance. Through awareness, accountability, and practical action, Harringay Movers works to keep modern slavery risks visible and manageable.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective and relevant. Each review considers changes in operations, lessons learned from audits, supplier performance, reported concerns, and any evolving legal or sector guidance. Where improvements are identified, Harringay Movers updates its policies, controls, and training measures accordingly.

Our annual review also assesses whether our Harringay Movers anti-slavery policy is being applied consistently across the business and supply chain. This helps ensure that ethical commitments are not merely written principles but active business practices. We recognise that the fight against modern slavery requires sustained attention, regular evaluation, and a willingness to improve.

In conclusion, Harringay Movers reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms. We will continue to maintain a zero-tolerance policy, strengthen supplier audits, support clear reporting channels, and conduct an annual review of our approach. By doing so, Harringay Movers aims to protect workers, promote ethical practice, and uphold the highest standards of responsibility in every part of the business.
