Brixton Removals Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Brixton Removals to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to ensure that the services we provide are delivered ethically and transparently.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Brixton Removals has a strict zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings. This commitment applies to our direct employees, agency workers, contractors, and all third parties who work with or on behalf of Brixton Removals.

Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment or contract, as well as potential referral to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Brixton Removals provides residential and commercial removal and relocation services. Our supply chains primarily include transport and logistics partners, packaging and materials suppliers, storage providers, and facilities and maintenance services. We understand that risks of modern slavery can arise at various points within these supply chains, especially where multiple tiers of subcontracting and sourcing are involved.

We are committed to identifying, assessing, and managing any potential risks by working closely with our suppliers and partners and by maintaining responsible and transparent procurement practices.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and contractors to uphold the same high standards that we apply within Brixton Removals. As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing due diligence, we seek confirmation that suppliers:

Operate in full compliance with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws.

Prohibit forced, bonded, or involuntary labour of any kind.

Prohibit child labour and adhere to legal age and working hour requirements.

Provide safe and fair working conditions and pay at least the legal minimum wage in the relevant jurisdiction.

We conduct risk-based supplier audits and reviews to verify compliance with these expectations. This may include requesting documentation, carrying out site visits, and engaging in direct discussions with supplier management. Where issues are identified, we seek corrective action plans and monitor implementation. Persistent non-compliance may result in the termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Raising Concerns

Brixton Removals encourages a culture of openness and accountability. All workers, contractors, and other stakeholders are urged to report any concerns related to modern slavery, human trafficking, or unethical labour practices connected to our business or supply chains.

Concerns can be raised confidentially through internal reporting routes, such as speaking to a manager, a senior member of the operations team, or designated company representatives responsible for compliance and human resources. Reports will be handled sensitively and, where possible, confidentially. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Training and Awareness

We are working to increase awareness of modern slavery risks across Brixton Removals. Relevant staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management, receive guidance on identifying potential indicators of modern slavery and on the steps to take if concerns arise.

We review our internal guidance and training materials regularly to reflect legal developments, industry best practice, and lessons learned from our own due diligence activities.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with the senior management of Brixton Removals. They ensure that appropriate policies, processes, and controls are in place and that these are communicated effectively across the business.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year. The annual review considers the effectiveness of our actions, feedback from employees and stakeholders, changes in our business or supply chains, and developments in legislation and best practice. Where necessary, we update our policies, procedures, and training to strengthen our response and to further reduce the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking.

By publishing this statement, Brixton Removals reaffirms its commitment to conducting business responsibly, respecting human rights, and continuously improving our practices to help eradicate modern slavery in all its forms.
