Modern Slavery Statement — Tufnell Park Skip Hire

Tufnell Park Skip Hire acknowledges the serious nature of modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in all forms. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy across our operations and supply chains: any evidence of exploitation will trigger immediate action. As an ethical local skip hire provider and part of the broader Tufnell Park skip hire sector, we are committed to ensuring fair treatment, lawful pay and safe working conditions for everyone engaged in delivering our services. This statement sets out our approach to prevention, monitoring and remediation and confirms that we expect the same standards from every partner and contractor working with Tufnell Park skips and related waste services.

Policy and Leadership

Our senior leadership team owns this policy and ensures that responsibility is clear throughout the organisation. The Board has authorised a compliance lead who coordinates policy implementation, staff training and periodic reviews. All employees and contractors must adhere to our anti-slavery and human trafficking obligations; we embed these standards into recruitment, contractual terms and performance expectations. We require appropriate right-to-work checks, transparent pay systems and training so that risks are reduced. The policy also includes clear disciplinary measures and escalation pathways for breaches of our modern slavery commitments.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We apply a risk-based approach to procurement for skip hire, waste management and recycling partners. Our supplier due diligence requires documentation, references and contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery. Where risk indicators appear, we undertake formal supplier audits and request corrective action plans. The supplier audit programme is a central tool to verify compliance and drive improvement across our supply chain of Tufnell Park waste services and affiliated providers.

• Document verification: employment records, payroll and right-to-work evidence
• On-site inspections: physical checks of working conditions and subcontractor practices
• Corrective actions and contractual remedies: remediation, probation or termination

Our enforcement and monitoring processes ensure audit findings are escalated to senior management and acted upon promptly. We retain the right to suspend or end relationships where serious non-compliance is found and remediation is inadequate. A zero tolerance stance means that suspected cases of forced labour, debt bondage or trafficking are investigated without delay, with appropriate internal and external reporting as required by law. We also require that our suppliers cascade the same standards to their subcontractors to increase transparency throughout the supply network.

We provide multiple, confidential reporting channels so employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Our reporting channels include an internal whistleblowing route and a formal escalation to the compliance lead. Reports are treated seriously: each report is logged, risk-assessed and investigated according to a defined process. We commit to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring proportional, timely responses. Training highlights how and when to report suspected modern slavery or exploitation in any part of our operations.

We maintain an annual review cycle to ensure this modern slavery statement and our implementation remain effective. At least once a year the compliance lead presents audit results, remediation outcomes and key performance indicators — such as the number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported, and corrective actions finalised — to senior management for review. This review informs updates to policy, supplier engagement and training. Through continuous improvement, Tufnell Park skip hire and its waste services reaffirm a strong commitment to eradicating modern slavery risks and fostering an ethical, transparent supply chain.
