Modern Slavery Statement for Fulham Removals

Fulham Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the removals and logistics sector can involve multiple contractors, temporary workers, and third-party services, which means clear standards are essential.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every part of the business. We do not accept slavery, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or any form of coercion. This policy applies equally to employees, agency staff, subcontractors, and suppliers acting on behalf of Fulham Removals. Any breach of this commitment may result in immediate corrective action, contract termination, or referral to relevant authorities where appropriate.

To support our commitment, Fulham Removals requires all managers to understand the signs of exploitation and to act promptly where concerns arise. We encourage a culture of vigilance, where staff are expected to notice unusual working patterns, withholding of wages, restricted movement, or other indicators that may suggest abuse. Our approach to anti-slavery compliance is built into our business ethics and operational standards.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our due diligence. Fulham Removals carries out supplier audits and risk checks on new and existing partners, focusing on labour practices, recruitment methods, wage controls, and working conditions. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to deeper review, documentary checks, and follow-up assessment. We expect suppliers to maintain equivalent standards and to demonstrate compliance with applicable employment and human rights laws.

We also include ethical expectations in our procurement process. Suppliers are required to confirm that they do not use forced or trafficked labour and that they have their own controls in place to prevent abuse. Where gaps are identified, we seek corrective action plans and monitor progress closely. If improvements are not made, Fulham Removals will reconsider the relationship and may suspend or end the arrangement.

Training plays an important role in our modern slavery prevention framework. Relevant staff receive guidance on identifying warning signs, escalating concerns, and recording incidents accurately. Managers are trained to review labour arrangements carefully, especially where work is seasonal, outsourced, or time-sensitive. This helps ensure that our operational practices remain aligned with our ethical standards.

We maintain several reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees and contractors may report suspected abuse, unethical labour practices, or supply chain risks through internal management routes, designated compliance oversight, or anonymous reporting methods where available. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion to protect those who come forward.

Fulham Removals does not permit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. We recognise that people are more likely to speak up when they trust that their information will be taken seriously and that they will be protected from disadvantage. Our whistleblowing culture supports early intervention and helps us respond to risks before they escalate.

The effectiveness of this Fulham Removals slavery statement is reviewed through periodic assessments of our policies, staff awareness, supplier checks, and incident response. We examine whether our controls remain suitable for the size and nature of our business and whether any new risks have emerged across our operations or supply chain. This ensures our safeguarding measures stay practical and relevant.

An annual review is carried out to confirm that our modern slavery measures remain robust and proportionate. During this review, we consider audit findings, training completion, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any changes in legal or commercial risk. Where necessary, we update our procedures and strengthen controls to reflect best practice.

Fulham Removals remains committed to continuous improvement. By maintaining a zero-tolerance approach, conducting supplier audits, offering clear reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to reduce the risk of exploitation and uphold the dignity of everyone connected to our business. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to promote ethical conduct and protect human rights across all our activities.
