Modern Slavery Statement for Movingservices

Movingservices is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and controls that guide our operations, helping us identify, prevent, and respond to any risk of forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labour, or exploitation within our business and supply chain. We believe that every person involved in our moving services should be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.

Our commitment is built on a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in any form. We do not permit coercion, deception, intimidation, or abuse of vulnerability in our workforce or among our suppliers. All staff, contractors, and partners are expected to uphold this standard, and any breach is treated as a serious matter. In practice, this means we assess risk carefully, maintain clear expectations, and take prompt action where concerns arise.

We recognise that the transport, logistics, and movingservices sectors may face exposure to labour exploitation through labour hire, subcontracting, or cross-border procurement. For this reason, we maintain due diligence procedures designed to reduce risk and improve accountability. These procedures include supplier screening, contract review, and monitoring of working conditions where relevant. Our approach aims to ensure that those who support our operations are recruited and employed lawfully, ethically, and voluntarily.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our modern slavery statement. We conduct proportionate supplier audits based on the nature of the service provided, geographic risk, and the level of labour involvement. Audits may include document checks, workforce interviews, site visits, and reviews of pay, hours, and recruitment practices. Where a supplier cannot meet our requirements, we work with them to improve standards or, if necessary, end the relationship.

Our procurement process includes contractual clauses requiring suppliers to comply with all applicable labour, employment, and anti-trafficking laws. We also expect suppliers to apply the same expectations to their own subcontractors. The Movingservices team considers ethical performance alongside cost and service quality, ensuring that business decisions do not compromise our values. Transparent monitoring is essential to this process, and records are retained to support ongoing assessment.

Training is provided to relevant employees so they can recognise warning signs such as restricted freedom of movement, withheld wages, excessive overtime, unusual recruitment fees, or signs of fear and dependency. This helps strengthen our capacity to detect risks across the moving services chain. Our policy also encourages continuous improvement so that our controls remain effective as our business develops.

We provide clear reporting channels for employees, workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through designated compliance processes, and concerns are handled confidentially wherever possible. Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited.

Once a concern is received, it is assessed promptly and escalated where appropriate. We investigate allegations carefully, preserve evidence, and take immediate steps to reduce risk to any affected individuals. This may include suspending a supplier relationship, requesting corrective action, or informing the relevant authorities. Our response is guided by a commitment to human rights and to the safety and welfare of all people linked to Movingservices.

We also encourage a culture of openness so that issues can be identified early. By making reporting accessible and protecting those who speak up, we aim to prevent harm and improve trust across our organisation and supply chain. This approach supports a safer and more responsible movingservices sector.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with changes in legislation, operational risk, and business structure. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, training outcomes, and supplier performance. Where opportunities for improvement are identified, we update our controls, strengthen our due diligence, and refine our internal guidance.

Senior management is responsible for overseeing this annual review and for ensuring that modern slavery risks remain an active governance priority. As part of our ongoing commitment, Movingservices will continue to promote ethical practice, strengthen supplier accountability, and improve awareness across the business. We view the prevention of exploitation as a shared responsibility that underpins sustainable and reputable moving services.

Through this statement, we reaffirm our commitment to a workplace and supply chain free from modern slavery. Our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process form the foundation of a practical and accountable framework that supports human dignity and lawful conduct in every part of our operations.
