Modern Slavery Statement for Queenspark Removals

Queenspark Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness and respect for human rights. This Queenspark Removals 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 a removals company may work with a wide range of suppliers, contractors and temporary workers, and we remain alert to the risks that can arise in any part of that network. Our approach is built on a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery.

As part of our commitment, we expect every person working for or with Queenspark Removals to uphold ethical standards. This includes permanent staff, agency workers, subcontractors and suppliers. We promote a culture in which suspicious behaviour can be identified early and addressed promptly. The company’s modern slavery position is embedded in recruitment, procurement and operational decision-making so that the risk of exploitation is considered at every stage.

Our policies are reviewed to ensure that our Queenspark Removals slavery statement reflects current legal requirements and best practice. Training is provided where appropriate so employees can recognise warning signs such as document retention, restricted freedom of movement, unusually long working hours, or individuals appearing fearful or controlled. By raising awareness, we help protect vulnerable people and strengthen responsible business conduct.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

We recognise that modern slavery risks can be present in supply chains, particularly where labour is outsourced or sourced through multiple tiers. For that reason, Queenspark Removals applies due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers. We assess risk based on geography, industry sector, labour practices and the nature of the services provided. Suppliers are expected to confirm compliance with anti-slavery requirements and to maintain ethical working conditions.

Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits and document checks to verify that labour is being used lawfully and responsibly. These audits may include reviewing workforce records, right-to-work procedures, subcontracting arrangements and policies relating to wages, working time and grievance handling. If a concern is identified, we seek immediate clarification and may require corrective action, increased monitoring or, where necessary, termination of the relationship. This process supports the integrity of our modern slavery statement for Queenspark Removals and helps us reduce risk across our operations.

We also aim to work only with suppliers who share our values. Ethical sourcing is not treated as a one-time exercise; it is an ongoing responsibility. Any supplier that fails to meet our expectations may be asked to improve its controls, demonstrate compliance or provide evidence of remediation. We are determined to maintain transparent and responsible trading relationships.

Reporting, Accountability and Review

Queenspark Removals encourages everyone connected with the business to raise concerns in good faith. Reporting channels are made available so employees, contractors and suppliers can report suspected slavery, coercion, unsafe labour practices or any other breach of this statement. Reports are treated seriously, investigated confidentially and handled without retaliation. We believe that a safe reporting culture is essential to detecting issues that may otherwise remain hidden.

The company assigns responsibility for modern slavery compliance to appropriate management personnel, who oversee implementation, risk assessment and corrective actions. Internal procedures support consistent decision-making and ensure that allegations are escalated promptly. If a serious issue is suspected, we will take proportionate action, which may include suspending work, carrying out further checks or reporting matters to the relevant authorities where required.

This statement also reflects our long-term commitment to improvement. We understand that the risk of exploitation can change over time, especially as supply chains evolve and business relationships develop. For that reason, our controls are not static. We continue to strengthen our processes through training, supplier engagement and internal review.
