Modern Slavery Statement for Removals Bow

Removals Bow is committed to conducting business ethically, lawfully, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that bow removals services can involve multiple partners, contractors, and suppliers, which means vigilance is essential.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in every part of our business. This applies to our employees, agency workers, subcontractors, transport providers, and all other business partners connected to removals in Bow. No person working with or for us may be subjected to coercion, deception, debt bondage, withheld wages, document retention, or unsafe working conditions.

Commitment Across the Business

All managers are responsible for ensuring that our values are upheld in day-to-day operations. We expect every person involved in Removals Bow activities to understand that compliance is not optional. Any suspicion of exploitation is treated seriously and investigated promptly, with corrective action taken where necessary.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We carry out supplier due diligence before engagement and continue monitoring throughout the relationship. This includes reviewing employment practices, right-to-work controls, wage processes, and subcontracting arrangements. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits and request supporting documentation to confirm that workers are treated fairly and legally.

Our audit approach is proportionate to risk. Suppliers considered higher risk because of location, labour model, or service type may be subject to more frequent checks. If concerns are identified, we may require an improvement plan, suspend work, or terminate the relationship if the issues are not resolved. This helps protect the integrity of our Bow removals supply chain.

Training and Awareness

We provide relevant staff with training so they can identify warning signs such as restricted movement, intimidation, unusual deductions, or workers being unable to speak freely. Awareness is especially important in sectors that rely on temporary labour and third-party logistics. By strengthening knowledge, we improve our ability to prevent abuse before it occurs.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage anyone connected to our business to report concerns about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes or via our whistleblowing process. Concerns can be raised confidentially, and all reports are assessed carefully, recorded, and investigated in line with our safeguarding and compliance procedures.

Workers and suppliers are expected to cooperate fully with investigations. We make it clear that retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern will not be tolerated. This open reporting culture supports safer practice across removals Bow operations and helps us detect issues early, even where they may be hidden from routine oversight.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our modern slavery controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and relevant. The review considers new legal expectations, audit findings, training outcomes, supplier performance, and any incidents reported during the year. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures and strengthen controls accordingly.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical practice in Removals Bow. We will continue to improve our due diligence, strengthen supplier oversight, support reporting, and maintain a strong zero-tolerance approach so that our business and supply chain remain free from modern slavery.
