Neasden Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out Neasden Skip Hire's approach to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of exploitation. Our anti-slavery commitments apply to all colleagues, contractors and business partners and are embedded in our corporate responsibility framework. This statement explains our policies, due diligence, and the practical steps we take to reduce the risk of slavery in our industry.

Our scope covers direct employment, subcontractors and suppliers of goods and services. We use different terminology across the business—modern slavery statement, slavery and human trafficking policy and anti-slavery policy—to ensure clarity for diverse stakeholders. We emphasise that any breach of our standards will result in action, including contract termination and disciplinary measures where appropriate.

Suppliers and partners are expected to meet our minimum standards. We carry out risk-based supplier audits and checks focused on recruitment practices, working hours, pay and the transparency of subcontracting. Our procurement team applies a tiered assessment to identify higher-risk suppliers for enhanced scrutiny, with documented evidence required before onboarding or contract renewal.

• Pre-contract due diligence
• Ongoing supplier performance monitoring
• Targeted on-site and remote audits

We provide training to staff most likely to encounter exploitation risks, including drivers, site managers and procurement personnel. Training materials explain how to recognise signs of forced labour and the business's reporting expectations. Our workforce receives regular updates and scenario-based guidance so that the modern slavery policy is practical and actionable at all levels.

Audits are both scheduled and ad hoc. We employ a mix of desktop reviews, self-assessment questionnaires and physical inspections. Where audits identify issues, we require corrective action plans with fixed deadlines. Persistent non-compliance will trigger contract escalation and, if necessary, removal from the supply chain. Our audit process is proportionate and respects supplier confidentiality while ensuring worker protection.

Risk assessment is maintained through continual supplier intelligence and industry engagement. We incorporate contractual clauses that require compliance with our modern slavery standards and reserve rights to audit. Internal record-keeping ensures traceability of decisions and demonstrates how we manage slavery risks across procurement, operations and project delivery.

Reporting channels, remediation and governance

We operate clear reporting channels for concerns about suspected exploitation. Employees and third parties are encouraged to raise issues through internal reporting mechanisms. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated by a designated team with the authority to take immediate steps to protect affected individuals and secure evidence.

In response to reports we follow a remediation process that prioritises the welfare of workers and legal compliance. Remediation may include engagement with suppliers to rectify practices, referral to support services and, where offences are suspected, cooperation with authorities. Our approach is victim-centred and seeks to restore safety while addressing root causes.

We review this modern slavery policy and our anti-slavery procedures at least annually. The review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, training, reporting channels and remediation outcomes. Findings are presented to senior management and used to refine our strategy. Neasden Skip Hire remains committed to continuous improvement and transparency in tackling modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms.
