Brockley Skip Hire: Modern Slavery Statement

Commitment and Scope

At Brockley Skip Hire we publish this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking in all our operations and supply chains. This modern slavery policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Brockley Skip Hire. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or exploitation. Our statement reflects our determination to ensure that the highest standards of integrity and respect for human rights are maintained across our business activities.

Principles and Expectations

We expect all partners and suppliers to adhere to the same standards. Our slavery and human trafficking statement is designed to communicate clear expectations: no child labour, no coercion, fair working conditions and lawful remuneration. We require suppliers to be transparent about employment practices and to cooperate with reasonable checks that verify compliance. Compliance with this policy is a condition of doing business with Brockley Skip Hire.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

We carry out risk-based assessments across our operations and procurement categories to identify areas most vulnerable to modern slavery risk. As part of our modern slavery policy we map supply chains and prioritise higher-risk suppliers for further enquiry. Our procurement teams receive training to spot indicators of exploitation and to escalate concerns. We integrate social risk factors into supplier selection and contract terms to reduce exposure to slavery-related risks.

Supplier audits and on-site inspections form a core element of our approach. We conduct periodic supplier audits, both announced and unannounced, which review employment records, working hours, pay practices and worker interviews. Audit findings are documented and followed up with corrective action plans where necessary. If a supplier fails to remediate serious non-compliances within an agreed timeframe, we will take decisive actions up to and including contract termination. These supplier verification processes reinforce the credibility of our Brockley Skip Hire slavery statement.

Training and Awareness

We deliver mandatory training for relevant staff to ensure awareness of the indicators of modern slavery and the correct steps to take when concerns arise. Training materials emphasise our zero-tolerance stance and provide practical guidance on reporting channels and escalation. We also keep records of training attendance and continuously refine our programs to address emerging risks and legislative changes.

Reporting Channels and Response

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels to encourage the prompt reporting of suspected modern slavery. Reports may be raised internally by employees or via designated whistleblowing procedures. All reports are treated seriously and investigated impartially. Our response process ensures the protection of those who report concerns and, where necessary, offers support to affected workers.

• Internal reporting: through line managers or HR escalation procedures;
• Whistleblowing mechanism: anonymous reporting routes for employees and third parties;
• Supplier escalation: contractual notice procedures and remediation expectations.

The list above summarises the formal routes available. We record and analyse all reports to identify patterns and learning opportunities.

Monitoring, Review and Continuous Improvement

We review this statement and our anti-slavery measures at least annually as part of our governance cycle. Each annual review evaluates the effectiveness of our risk assessments, supplier audits, training, and reporting mechanisms. Where improvements are identified we implement action plans and update policies accordingly. Our board receives regular updates on performance against key indicators and progress on remediation actions. Through ongoing monitoring and stakeholder engagement, Brockley Skip Hire remains committed to eradicating modern slavery across its operations and supply chains.
