Modern Slavery Statement for Enfield Removals

Enfield Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. 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 chain. We recognise that zero tolerance is essential to protecting people and maintaining trust. Our commitment applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers associated with Enfield Removals.

Modern slavery can appear in many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, child labour, and involuntary servitude. As a responsible removals provider, Enfield Removals expects every person acting on our behalf to uphold ethical standards. We do not knowingly support or engage with any business practice that undermines human dignity. To reinforce this position, we maintain clear policies, regular checks, and a culture where concerns are taken seriously and addressed promptly.

Our zero-tolerance policy is communicated internally and externally. Staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs, such as unusual working conditions, restricted movement, withheld wages, or documents being retained by another party. We make it clear that any breach of our standards may lead to disciplinary action or termination of commercial relationships. By embedding awareness across the organisation, Enfield Removals reduces the risk of abuse entering our business model.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We understand that supply chains can extend across multiple sectors, including transport, packaging, storage, and specialist services. For this reason, Enfield Removals carries out proportionate due diligence before onboarding suppliers and during ongoing relationships. Our checks consider ownership, labour practices, geographic risk, and relevant compliance history. Where necessary, we request declarations confirming adherence to anti-slavery principles and lawful employment practices.

Supplier audits are a key part of our controls. These audits may include document reviews, labour-practice assessments, and targeted follow-up where risks are identified. If concerns arise, we seek corrective action within a reasonable timeframe and monitor progress closely. We expect suppliers to co-operate fully, provide accurate information, and demonstrate that they are taking effective steps to eliminate exploitation. Persistent failure to improve may result in suspension or removal from our approved supplier base.

In addition to formal audits, we promote responsible procurement decisions. Teams involved in purchasing are encouraged to consider not only cost and quality, but also ethical sourcing and worker welfare. This approach helps ensure that modern slavery risks are identified early and that our supply chain remains aligned with the values of Enfield Removals.

Reporting Channels, Review, and Continuous Improvement

We encourage anyone who suspects wrongdoing to raise concerns without delay. Reporting channels are available to employees and, where appropriate, to suppliers and other stakeholders. Concerns may be reported through internal management routes, and all reports are treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. Whistleblowers are protected from victimisation, and allegations are investigated thoroughly by the appropriate decision-makers.

Our response to reported concerns is designed to be practical and proportionate. Depending on the issue, this may involve interviews, review of records, escalation to senior management, or engagement with external partners. Where a risk is confirmed, Enfield Removals will act to protect affected individuals and prevent recurrence. This includes strengthening controls, updating supplier requirements, and, where necessary, ending relationships that cannot meet our standards.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with changes in legislation and business activity. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any lessons learned during the year. Through regular assessment and improvement, Enfield Removals reaffirms its commitment to ethical operations and to preventing modern slavery in every part of its work.
