Modern Slavery Statement for Rubbish Clearance Kentish Town

Rubbish Clearance Kentish Town is committed to conducting all aspects of its business in an ethical, transparent, and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that waste management and associated services can involve complex contractor and supplier relationships, and we are dedicated to ensuring that every stage of our work respects human rights and lawful working practices.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This commitment applies to all employees, agency staff, subcontractors, and suppliers who provide goods or services to Rubbish Clearance Kentish Town. We do not knowingly work with any party that fails to uphold the same high standards. Where concerns arise, we will take prompt, decisive action, which may include terminating contracts and reporting suspected criminal activity to the appropriate authorities.

Our internal policies are designed to promote fair, safe, and respectful working environments. These include clear standards on recruitment, working hours, wages, and the prohibition of any form of forced, bonded, or child labour. All employees are required to provide evidence of their legal right to work, and no recruitment fees or financial penalties are imposed on staff. Employment terms are provided in language that workers can understand, and staff are free to leave their employment in line with contractual notice requirements.

We recognise that the greatest risk of modern slavery often sits within supply chains. To address this, we are strengthening our supplier management process. All key suppliers and subcontractors are expected to confirm their own adherence to anti-slavery principles and relevant legislation. As relationships are established or renewed, we conduct due diligence proportionate to the level of risk, which may include verifying identity, checking trading history, and requesting information on labour practices and workforce protections.

Where we identify higher-risk categories of goods or services, we will undertake more detailed supplier audits. These may be conducted through questionnaires, document reviews, and, where appropriate, on-site visits. Our aim is to verify that suppliers have effective policies, training, and monitoring procedures in place to prevent exploitation. Suppliers that are unwilling or unable to provide sufficient assurance may be removed from our approved supplier list.

We encourage everyone connected with our business to speak up about concerns. Employees receive guidance on identifying signs of modern slavery, such as restricted freedom of movement, withholding of documents, or evidence of coercion and control. Concerns can be raised directly with a line manager, a senior member of management, or through a confidential reporting channel made available to staff. Reports can be made without fear of retaliation, and any issues raised will be treated seriously, reviewed promptly, and investigated where appropriate.

We also invite suppliers, subcontractors, and members of the public to alert us if they believe there may be any risk of modern slavery linked to our services. Any allegations or suspicions will be carefully assessed, and where necessary we will cooperate fully with regulators and law enforcement bodies.

To ensure our approach remains effective, this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, supplier checks, training, and reporting procedures. Where improvements are identified, we update our processes and communicate these changes to relevant staff and suppliers. We are committed to continuous improvement and will adapt our measures as legal requirements, industry standards, and best practices evolve.

This statement reflects the commitment of Rubbish Clearance Kentish Town to maintaining robust safeguards against modern slavery and human trafficking and to promoting respect, fairness, and dignity across all areas of our business and supply chains.
