Modern Slavery Statement for Lambeth Removals

Lambeth 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 child labour within our operations and supply chains. Our approach applies to every part of the business and reflects a clear zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation in any form.

We recognise that the removals industry can involve multiple suppliers, subcontractors, and temporary workers. Because of this, Lambeth Removals maintains robust controls to identify and reduce risk. We expect all employees and business partners to uphold lawful, ethical, and transparent practices. Any breach of these standards may result in immediate action, including suspension or termination of the relationship.

Our governance framework is designed to ensure accountability at every level. Senior management reviews compliance risks, monitors supplier performance, and supports training that helps staff identify warning signs of modern slavery. This includes awareness of indicators such as restricted movement, withheld documents, debt bondage, coercion, or unsafe working conditions. By strengthening awareness, the company reinforces responsible decision-making across Lambeth Removals??? activities.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our prevention strategy. Before engaging new suppliers, modern slavery risk is assessed through checks on labour standards, ownership structure, and operating practices. Existing suppliers are subject to supplier audits and periodic reviews, which may include document verification, worker welfare checks, and site inspections where appropriate. These audits help us confirm that our standards are being met consistently.

Where risks are identified, Lambeth Removals seeks immediate corrective action. Suppliers may be required to improve policies, strengthen record keeping, or provide evidence of fair recruitment and working conditions. If meaningful improvements are not made, the business will end the relationship. This firm stance supports our wider commitment to ethical sourcing and responsible contracting, while protecting vulnerable workers from exploitation.

We also promote a culture in which concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Our reporting channels allow employees, contractors, and suppliers to report suspected abuse, unethical conduct, or policy breaches confidentially. All reports are investigated promptly and handled sensitively. Appropriate remedial steps are taken based on the outcome of the investigation, and concerns are escalated when necessary.

Training, Oversight, and Continuous Improvement

To strengthen prevention, staff receive appropriate training on modern slavery risks, particularly those linked to recruitment, procurement, and subcontracting. The training encourages vigilance and responsible escalation when concerns arise. Lambeth Removals also keeps records of due diligence activity to support transparency and improve internal controls over time.

Our leadership team is responsible for overseeing compliance with this statement and ensuring that the company???s practices remain aligned with legal and ethical expectations. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-off exercise; it is a continuing responsibility. We therefore review our policies, supplier requirements, and risk controls regularly to ensure they remain effective and relevant.

In line with our commitment to accountability, this statement is reviewed annually. The review considers changes in legislation, industry risk, supplier performance, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Lessons learned are used to strengthen procedures and improve safeguards. This annual review ensures that Lambeth Removals continues to develop its response to modern slavery and maintain high standards across the business.
