Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Redbridge

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Skip Hire Redbridge and affiliated operations to a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in all forms. We, as a leading provider of skip hire in Redbridge and nearby areas, recognise our responsibility to ensure that our workforce, contractors and supply chain are free from exploitation. This statement applies to all employees, suppliers and business partners engaged by Redbridge skip hire operations.

We are committed to continuous improvement across our skip-hire Redbridge services and to embedding strong ethical standards across procurement, operations and site management. Our approach to preventing modern slavery is risk-based and proportionate to the size and nature of our business. We adopt a preventative stance, combining policy, due diligence and active monitoring to reduce risk and to respond swiftly if concerns arise.

We maintain compliance with applicable legislation and industry expectations. All senior management endorse this position and have responsibility for ensuring that the zero-tolerance policy is implemented and upheld. Training programmes ensure that staff recognise signs of exploitation and understand their role in reporting concerns.

Policies, Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Our policies are explicit: we will not tolerate modern slavery in any part of our operations or supply chain. These policies are embedded into supplier terms and contracts for skip hire in Redbridge and include express contractual rights to audit, suspend or terminate suppliers where violations are identified. We require suppliers to demonstrate compliance through documented evidence and through cooperation with our oversight activities.

To verify compliance we carry out regular supplier audits and risk assessments. Audit activities for Redbridge skip hire suppliers include:

• document review of payroll, employment contracts and identity checks;
• site visits and worker interviews where appropriate;
• verification of recruitment practices and third-party labour providers;
• remediation plans where deficiencies are found and follow-up verification.

Audit findings are reported to senior management. Non-compliant suppliers must implement corrective action plans within agreed timeframes or face contract termination. We prioritise audits for higher-risk suppliers, including those that provide labour-intensive services or operate in jurisdictions with elevated risk profiles.

Reporting Channels and Protections

How to raise concerns

We provide multiple internal reporting channels for employees and contractors to report suspected slavery or trafficking. Reports can be made confidentially and will be investigated promptly. Our channels are designed to protect whistleblowers and encourage reporting without fear of retaliation. Reporting channels include anonymous mechanisms and direct reporting to designated safeguarding officers.

Reports are handled with sensitivity and discretion. Investigations follow a clear process: intake, triage, investigation and, where necessary, remediation and referral to law enforcement. We offer support to affected individuals, including access to welfare resources and, where appropriate, steps to secure safe accommodation and alternative employment.

Annual review and continual improvement are central to our approach. Each year we conduct a formal annual review of our modern slavery programme for the Redbridge skip-hire business, assessing policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, training reach and incident response. Lessons learned inform policy updates and further supplier engagement. We publish the outcomes of our internal review cycle and integrate improvements into our operational controls.

In conclusion, Skip Hire Redbridge reiterates its enduring commitment to eliminating modern slavery and human trafficking across its operations and supply chains. We will continue to strengthen our controls, collaborate with partners and ensure that our skip hire services in Redbridge and the surrounding community operate to the highest ethical standards. This statement is approved by senior leadership and will be reviewed and updated as part of our ongoing governance and compliance programme.
