Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Forest Hill

Skip Hire Forest Hill declares a clear and unwavering position: we have a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in any form. This statement explains our commitment as a Forest Hill skip hire operator and how our policies, processes and people work together to identify, prevent and respond to risks associated with exploitation. We apply the highest standards across our operations and to the supply chain for skip hire in Forest Hill and adjacent areas.

Our mission as a local Forest Hill skip hire provider is to ensure dignity and safety for every worker involved in delivering our services. We respect human rights and expect the same from partners and suppliers. This document outlines the approach we take to due diligence, supplier engagement, reporting channels and continuous improvement, and is reviewed annually to remain effective and current.

Policy Framework and Oversight

We maintain a comprehensive anti-slavery policy that is embedded in company procedures and staff training. Senior management takes responsibility for oversight and governance. We require all employees, contractors and vendors to comply with our standards and to participate in training that highlights the signs of exploitation and the mechanisms for escalation. The policy explicitly prohibits any form of forced labour, debt bondage, or coercion in our skip hire Forest Hill operations.

Our supplier code of conduct and contractual terms set expectations for labour standards. As part of our procurement approach we undertake regular supplier audits and risk assessments to verify compliance. Audits include document checks, site visits where appropriate, and verification of worker records and payment practices. We apply targeted checks on high-risk suppliers and business partners to reduce the potential for modern slavery in the broader supply network.

Key actions include:

• Regular supplier audits and contractual compliance reviews;
• Risk-based due diligence on new and existing suppliers in the skip hire supply chain;
• Mandatory training and awareness sessions for staff and partner organisations.

Reporting Channels, Remediation and Annual Review

We provide secure and accessible reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected slavery or exploitation. Reports may be made internally through designated managers or via anonymous mechanisms. All reports are treated seriously: we investigate promptly and, where necessary, take corrective action including terminating relationships with non-compliant suppliers. Our approach balances confidentiality with the need for transparency and accountability.

Remediation is victim-centred and proportionate. When exploitation is identified we act to protect affected individuals, ensure they receive appropriate support, and remediate harm where possible. We work with relevant authorities and specialist organisations as required to ensure lawful and effective outcomes while maintaining the safety of whistleblowers and those impacted.

The statement is reviewed at least once every year as part of our governance cycle. Annual review evaluates the effectiveness of our risk assessment processes, audit outcomes, training uptake and incident responses. We use review findings to refine policy, strengthen supplier engagement and improve controls. Progress against our anti-slavery commitments is reported to senior leadership and informs ongoing enhancements.

In closing, Skip Hire Forest Hill is committed to continuous improvement and collaboration to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and supply chain. We will continue to enforce a zero tolerance stance, perform robust supplier audits, maintain clear reporting channels and conduct an annual review to measure and enhance our effectiveness as a responsible skip hire provider in Forest Hill and beyond.
