Camden Town Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out Camden Town Skip Hire's approach to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We publish this anti-slavery declaration to demonstrate a clear and continuing commitment to ethical practice. Our slavery and human trafficking statement applies to all colleagues, contractors and partners engaged by Camden Town Skip Hire.

We operate a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and exploitation. This means that any evidence or reasonable suspicion of forced labour, servitude, bonded work or trafficking will be treated with urgency and decisive action. The company maintains clear internal policies that require immediate investigation and proportionate remedial action where breaches occur. The Camden Town Skip Hire anti-slavery policy complements our wider ethical standards and code of conduct, emphasising transparency and accountability.

Scope, Risk Assessment and Controls

Camden Town Skip Hire evaluates risks across our business activities and supply chains, including drivers, depot staff, fleet maintenance contractors and external suppliers of materials and services. We undertake periodic risk assessments to identify high-risk categories and geographic exposures. Key controls include:

• Supplier due diligence at onboarding and renewal;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery obligations;
• Targeted supplier audits and unannounced site visits where appropriate;
• Training for managers and procurement staff to recognise signs of exploitation.

Our modern slavery compliance framework is designed to mitigate risk while supporting suppliers to meet expected standards through collaborative improvement plans rather than punitive first responses where appropriate.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Enforcement

Camden Town Skip Hire maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery and human trafficking. Allegations are investigated by a dedicated compliance team and, where substantiated, we will take proportionate action including termination of contracts, referral to law enforcement and remedial support for affected individuals. The policy is embedded into procurement, HR and operational procedures and is overseen by senior leadership to ensure consistent enforcement.

We require all suppliers to acknowledge and comply with our standards through contractual warranties and regular attestations. Suppliers found in breach of our anti-slavery expectations are subject to commercial review and may be removed from our supply base. Our supplier audits focus on labour records, recruitment practices, pay and working conditions, and the use of third-party labour providers.

Reporting channels are a fundamental part of our approach. Staff, contractors and third parties are encouraged to raise concerns via internal reporting routes, including confidential reports to designated compliance officers and through an anonymous reporting mechanism. We emphasise a non-retaliation stance: anyone raising a genuine concern in good faith will be protected. Reports are logged, triaged and investigated; outcomes are recorded and inform corrective action plans.

To strengthen transparency we maintain a programme of supplier audits, combining self-assessments with on-site verifications. Audit findings lead to corrective action plans with clear timelines, and persistent non-compliance triggers escalation. We also use a risk-based frequency for audits, increasing scrutiny for suppliers in higher-risk sectors or regions.

Annual review and continuous improvement are central to our modern slavery response. Each year Camden Town Skip Hire conducts a formal review of policies, audit results, training uptake and incident records to measure effectiveness. This review sets targets for the coming year, updates risk assessments, and revises procedures to reflect evolving legal requirements and industry best practice.

We deliver mandatory training for relevant teams, monitor key performance indicators such as audit completion rates and corrective action closure, and report these outcomes internally to governance committees. Collaboration with suppliers, contractors and sector partners enables us to share best practice and support vulnerable workers.

In conclusion, Camden Town Skip Hire's slavery statement reaffirms our firm commitment to eradicate modern slavery from our business and supply chains. We will continue to strengthen supplier audits, maintain robust reporting channels, enforce a zero-tolerance policy and undertake an annual review to ensure continuous improvement. This modern slavery and human trafficking statement is part of our ongoing efforts to protect workers, uphold human rights and operate responsibly in every aspect of our operations.
