Modern Slavery Statement
Finsbury Park Movers Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Finsbury Park Movers to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold and promote human rights and to ensure that the people involved in providing our services are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.
Finsbury Park Movers operates within the removals and logistics sector, working with a range of suppliers, contractors, and partners. We are committed to embedding ethical practices into our day-to-day activities and to continuously strengthening our approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery risks.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Finsbury Park Movers has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, bonded labour, child labour, and human trafficking. This commitment applies to our own employees, agency workers, contractors, and all organisations that form part of our supply chain.
No form of exploitation is acceptable in our business. We will not knowingly work with any individual or organisation involved in modern slavery practices. Where concerns are identified, we will act swiftly, up to and including terminating relationships, reporting to appropriate authorities, and supporting affected individuals where possible.
All colleagues are expected to conduct themselves in a way that reflects our values and this zero-tolerance approach. Senior management is responsible for overseeing implementation of this policy and ensuring it is communicated and applied consistently across the business.
Supply Chain Standards and Supplier Audits
We recognise that the greatest risks of modern slavery can arise within complex supply chains. Finsbury Park Movers is committed to working only with suppliers and partners who share our ethical standards and demonstrate respect for human rights.
We communicate our expectations to suppliers through our contractual terms and our internal standards on labour and human rights. We expect suppliers to comply with all applicable labour laws, to prohibit forced and child labour, to provide fair wages and working hours, and to maintain safe and respectful working conditions.
To support compliance with these standards, we undertake proportionate supplier checks and audits. These may include reviewing policies and documentation, asking targeted questions about labour practices, conducting site visits where appropriate, and requesting evidence of due diligence on subcontractors. Where issues are identified, we will require corrective actions and monitor progress. Failure to address serious or repeated breaches may lead to review or termination of the business relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels
Finsbury Park Movers encourages anyone associated with our business, including employees, agency workers, suppliers, and other third parties, to raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices without fear of retaliation.
Concerns can be raised through established internal reporting channels or by speaking directly to a line manager or a senior manager. Reports may relate to suspected exploitation within our own operations or anywhere in our supply chains. All concerns will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and, where possible, confidentially.
We will investigate reported concerns promptly and take appropriate action based on our findings. This may include engaging with the supplier or contractor, suspending work while issues are examined, notifying the relevant authorities, or terminating the relationship. We are committed to ensuring that no one who raises a concern in good faith suffers detrimental treatment as a result.
Training, Awareness, and Continuous Improvement
We recognise that raising awareness is essential to preventing modern slavery. Relevant staff involved in procurement, supplier management, and human resources receive guidance on identifying warning signs and understanding our responsibilities under this statement.
We review our processes and practices regularly to strengthen our approach, including considering updates to contractual clauses, expanding supplier checks where risks are higher, and refining our escalation procedures. We seek to learn from incidents, industry developments, and recognised good practice.
Annual Review and Governance
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by the leadership of Finsbury Park Movers. The review considers any incidents reported, outcomes of supplier audits, changes in relevant legislation, and developments in best practice.
Where necessary, we will update our policies, procedures, and training to enhance our effectiveness in preventing modern slavery. Any significant changes will be communicated internally and reflected in future versions of this statement.
This statement represents our ongoing commitment to operate responsibly and to contribute to the global effort to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking.
