Modern Slavery Statement for Removals Soho

Removals Soho is committed to operating with integrity, respect, and accountability across every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that these abuses can occur in any sector and that a proactive approach is essential. Our commitment is clear: zero tolerance for modern slavery in any form.

As a trusted removals service in Soho, we understand the importance of safeguarding the people who support our work. This includes our employees, contractors, temporary workers, and suppliers. We expect every person and organisation associated with Removals Soho to uphold the highest ethical standards. Our responsibility is not only to comply with legal obligations, but also to make sure our business practices actively reduce the risk of exploitation.

We apply a structured approach to risk management by assessing where vulnerabilities may exist in our supply chain. This includes reviewing labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, and the sourcing of goods and services. Our supplier due diligence process is designed to identify warning signs such as withheld documents, unsafe conditions, unfair recruitment practices, or excessive working hours. We do not accept arrangements that compromise worker freedom, dignity, or safety.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Removals Soho maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward slavery and human trafficking. Any proven breach of this policy may result in immediate corrective action, termination of contracts, or reporting to the appropriate authorities where necessary. We require our managers and teams to remain vigilant and to escalate concerns without delay. The policy is reinforced through internal training, onboarding procedures, and supplier expectations that emphasise lawful, fair, and ethical conduct.

We also expect our suppliers to share our commitment. When entering or renewing supplier relationships, we review modern slavery controls and request confirmation that relevant laws are being followed. Where appropriate, we reserve the right to conduct audits, request documentation, and inspect compliance measures. These supplier audits help us verify that Soho removals operations are supported by responsible partners who respect workers’ rights and treat people fairly.

Our contracts include obligations for suppliers to cooperate fully with investigations and to implement corrective actions where weaknesses are identified. If concerns arise, we work with the supplier to understand the issue, set expectations, and monitor improvement. However, if a supplier is unable or unwilling to address serious risks, we will reconsider the relationship. This approach helps ensure that our modern slavery controls remain effective and credible.

Reporting, Safeguarding, and Accountability

Speaking Up

We encourage everyone connected to Removals Soho to report any suspicion, concern, or incident related to modern slavery. Reports may be made through internal management channels, designated safeguarding routes, or other approved reporting mechanisms. All concerns are treated seriously and handled with discretion. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we aim to create a culture where speaking up is safe and supported.

Where a report indicates possible exploitation, we assess the situation promptly and take appropriate action. This may include preserving evidence, pausing a relationship, escalating to senior leadership, or involving specialist support and law enforcement. Our commitment extends beyond compliance: we want to ensure that any person at risk is protected as quickly as possible. This is an essential part of responsible Removals Soho practice.

We communicate these expectations internally and externally so that our workforce and business partners understand their role in preventing abuse. By maintaining clear reporting channels, reviewing risks, and strengthening supplier oversight, we continue to improve our response to modern slavery risks across the business.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and the controls that support it are reviewed annually to confirm their continued effectiveness. The annual review considers any incidents raised, lessons learned, supplier audit findings, changes in law, and emerging risks affecting the removals industry in Soho. Findings are used to strengthen policies, training, and due diligence procedures so that our approach remains current and practical.

We also review our awareness activities to ensure that staff understand how to recognise warning signs and respond appropriately. Training is updated where needed, and responsibilities are reinforced at management level. This helps ensure that the principles set out in this Modern Slavery Statement are embedded in day-to-day operations rather than treated as a one-time exercise.

Removals Soho is dedicated to continuous improvement and transparent accountability. Through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, effective reporting channels, and an annual review process, we work to protect people from exploitation and uphold ethical standards throughout our business. We will continue strengthening our safeguards and expect the same commitment from every partner involved in our work.
