Modern Slavery Statement for Kennington Movers

Kennington Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, and all other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. Our approach applies to every part of the business, including recruitment, transport activities, subcontracted services, and purchasing. We believe that ethical business practices are essential to maintaining trust and protecting the dignity of all workers.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and related abuses. This means that any evidence, suspicion, or credible concern involving slavery, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or coercive recruitment will be treated as a serious breach of our standards. Every manager and employee is expected to understand and uphold this policy. Where appropriate, we will suspend relationships, investigate promptly, and take corrective action without delay.

Our commitment extends across the full supply chain. Kennington Movers expects suppliers, contractors, and business partners to demonstrate the same ethical standards that we set for ourselves. We assess risk when engaging new suppliers, taking into account geography, industry, labour practices, and the nature of the goods or services provided. Higher-risk arrangements are subject to closer scrutiny, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where standards are not met.

Supplier due diligence is supported by periodic supplier audits. These audits may include document checks, workforce verification, review of recruitment practices, and confirmation that workers are paid lawfully and treated fairly. We may also request evidence of identity controls, age checks, right-to-work procedures, and subcontractor oversight. Audit findings are recorded, tracked, and followed up with action plans where needed. Repeated non-compliance will lead to escalation and possible disengagement.

We encourage a culture in which concerns can be raised early and safely. Reporting channels are available to employees, managers, and external stakeholders who suspect that something is not right. Reports can be made through internal management lines, human resources processes, or confidential whistleblowing procedures. All concerns are handled sensitively, and anyone who raises an issue in good faith will be protected from retaliation. We investigate promptly, preserve confidentiality where possible, and act on substantiated findings.

Training and awareness are also important parts of our response. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unusual control over pay, or signs of intimidation. Procurement and operational teams are trained to identify risks in labour supply, subcontracting, and temporary staffing. We expect decisions to be made with care, especially where there is pressure on cost, speed, or availability that could create conditions for exploitation.

Kennington Movers monitors its actions continuously and maintains records of risk assessments, supplier reviews, investigations, and remedial measures. If a problem is identified, we work with the supplier or relevant party to address it in a timely and measurable way. This may include corrective training, tighter controls, enhanced monitoring, or ending the relationship. Our goal is not only compliance, but meaningful prevention of harm throughout the moving and logistics environment.

We are committed to an annual review of this statement and the controls that support it. Each year, senior leadership evaluates the effectiveness of our policies, audit results, risk profile, and any incidents or trends that have emerged. This review helps us strengthen our approach, improve accountability, and respond to changing risks in the market. Where improvements are identified, we update procedures and assign responsibility for implementation.

Through this statement, Kennington Movers reaffirms its determination to prevent modern slavery in all forms. We expect every person connected with our business to support this commitment and to act with honesty and vigilance. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, strengthening supplier audits, providing clear reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to uphold the highest ethical standards across our services and supply chain.
