Modern Slavery Statement for Brixton Movers

At Brixton Movers, we are 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 chains. We recognise that the moving and logistics sector can present risks due to subcontracted labour, time-sensitive work, and complex supplier networks. For that reason, zero tolerance is central to our approach.

Our policy applies to every part of Brixton Movers, including management, employees, temporary workers, and contractors. We expect all colleagues to uphold the same ethical standards, regardless of role or location. To support this commitment, we integrate safeguarding measures into recruitment, onboarding, procurement, and operational oversight. We also require suppliers and partners to demonstrate compliance with applicable labour laws and to share our expectation that all work must be voluntary, lawful, and fairly carried out.

We take a proactive view of risk by assessing where vulnerabilities may exist. This includes reviewing labour arrangements, identifying higher-risk suppliers, and monitoring subcontracted services. Modern slavery can be hidden, so vigilance is essential. Any concern, however small, is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Brixton Movers does not permit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we encourage open reporting wherever possible.

Supplier due diligence is a key control in our modern slavery statement. Before engaging new suppliers, we seek information about ownership, workforce practices, and employment standards. Existing suppliers may be subject to periodic supplier audits, document checks, and site reviews depending on the level of risk they present. These reviews help us confirm that workers are being paid appropriately, are of legal working age, and are not subject to coercion, debt bondage, or other abusive conditions.

Where audit findings or other evidence indicate a potential breach, we expect immediate corrective action. Depending on the circumstances, this may include improved record keeping, revised labour controls, worker interviews, or termination of the business relationship. Our goal is not only compliance, but continuous improvement across the Brixton Movers supply chain. We maintain a risk-based approach so that attention is focused where the greatest exposure may exist, while still applying consistent standards across all suppliers.

Training is another important part of our framework. Relevant staff receive guidance on identifying warning signs such as unexplained absences, restricted movement, retention of identity documents, unusual payment practices, or signs that a person may not be acting freely. Managers are expected to escalate concerns quickly and to document actions taken. By raising awareness, we strengthen our ability to prevent exploitation and protect vulnerable individuals.

We provide clear and accessible reporting channels so that employees, workers, suppliers, and third parties can report concerns about modern slavery or unsafe labour practices. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through other designated internal processes. All concerns are handled confidentially where possible, recorded carefully, and reviewed without delay. Anonymous reports are also taken seriously and assessed on the basis of available information.

Brixton Movers will investigate allegations thoroughly and fairly. If modern slavery, human trafficking, or related misconduct is identified, we will take decisive action, which may include suspending work, removing suppliers, supporting referral to the appropriate authorities, and strengthening controls to prevent recurrence. We are committed to treating affected individuals with dignity and to acting in a way that prioritises their safety and wellbeing.

Our anti-slavery approach is reviewed by senior leadership to ensure accountability and effectiveness. Metrics such as supplier risk ratings, audit outcomes, training completion, and reported concerns are used to evaluate progress. This statement is reviewed annually and updated when needed to reflect changes in legislation, business structure, or risk profile. Through ongoing review, Brixton Movers reinforces its commitment to ethical operations and responsible business conduct.
