Modern Slavery Statement
Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made by Movers Camden in respect of its activities and supply chains. Movers Camden is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly, and we recognise our duty to help prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in all forms.
Modern slavery is a serious violation of fundamental human rights and is incompatible with our values. This Statement sets out the steps we are taking to identify, mitigate, and address the risk of modern slavery in our operations and among our suppliers.
Zero-Tolerance Approach
Movers Camden operates a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with, or continue to work with, any individual or organisation involved in such practices. Our leadership team is responsible for ensuring that this commitment is embedded across the business and that expectations are clearly communicated to employees, contractors, and suppliers.
All staff are required to act with integrity and to support our efforts to prevent exploitation. Any act that facilitates, conceals, or ignores modern slavery is strictly prohibited and may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment or contract where appropriate.
Supply Chain Standards and Supplier Audits
We recognise that our supply chain is an important area of risk and influence. Movers Camden strives to work only with reputable suppliers and service providers who share our commitment to ethical conduct and respect for human rights.
We communicate our expectations through supplier standards that cover labour practices, working conditions, and the prohibition of forced or compulsory labour. As part of our due diligence, we assess suppliers according to their location, the nature of services provided, and their own risk profile in relation to modern slavery.
Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits and reviews. These may include requesting written confirmations of compliance with modern slavery legislation, reviewing relevant policies and procedures, and seeking evidence of workforce protections such as fair recruitment practices and transparent employment terms. If concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier to address them within clear timeframes, or, if necessary, we will consider suspending or terminating the relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
Movers Camden encourages anyone connected with our business, including employees, workers, contractors, and suppliers, to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Concerns may include suspicion of forced labour, exploitative recruitment, withholding of identity documents, restriction of movement, or any other behaviour that could indicate exploitation.
We maintain internal reporting channels for raising concerns confidentially, without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made to line managers or senior management. All reports will be taken seriously, treated sensitively, and investigated promptly and fairly. Where appropriate, we will consider escalation to relevant authorities and will cooperate with any official investigations.
Training and Awareness
To strengthen our prevention efforts, Movers Camden is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among key staff, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management. Training and guidance may cover identifying warning signs, understanding legal obligations, and following correct procedures when concerns arise.
We aim to foster a culture in which ethical conduct is expected and supported, and in which individuals feel confident to speak up if something does not seem right.
Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with the senior management of Movers Camden. We monitor the effectiveness of our actions by reviewing reported concerns, audit findings, and feedback from employees and suppliers.
This Statement and our underlying procedures will be reviewed at least annually, and more frequently if required by changes in legislation or the nature of our operations. The review will consider emerging risks, lessons learned from investigations or audits, and opportunities to strengthen controls. Any necessary updates to our policies, supplier requirements, or training will be implemented following each review.
By publishing this Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement, Movers Camden reaffirms its commitment to playing a proactive role in preventing exploitation and promoting respect for human rights across its business and supply chains.
