Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Feltham
Skip Hire Feltham is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach and the concrete steps we take across our skip hire and waste management services in Feltham and surrounding areas. We recognise the responsibility to protect vulnerable people and maintain the highest ethical standards in our supply chain.
Our policy is clear: we operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, child labour, servitude or human trafficking. Feltham skip hire activities, including vehicle operation, site management and subcontracted services, are covered by this commitment. All staff and contractors are required to follow our code of conduct and are informed that breaches will lead to strict disciplinary or contractual action.
Scope and governance
The policy applies to all employees, temporary workers, agency staff and suppliers engaged by Skip-hire Feltham. Senior management oversees implementation and is accountable for monitoring performance. We maintain a documented framework that details responsibilities, decision-making processes and escalation routes to ensure transparency and accountability.To translate policy into practice we conduct regular supplier assessments and audits. Our procurement process for skip hire Feltham services includes due diligence checks before onboarding and periodic reviews thereafter. Suppliers are required to confirm compliance with our anti-slavery expectations and provide evidence of ethical employment practices.
We carry out risk-based supplier audits and site visits. Audits focus on key indicators such as:
- employment contracts and lawful wage payments;
- working hours and rest periods;
- recruitment processes and the use of third-party labour providers;
We emphasise training and awareness: staff involved in procurement, operations and leadership receive targeted guidance on identifying signs of exploitation. Skip hire in Feltham teams are equipped to spot vulnerabilities and escalate concerns promptly.
Reporting channels are a key component of our approach. We provide clear, confidential routes for raising concerns and encourage workers, suppliers and members of the public to report suspected modern slavery. Reports are handled sensitively and investigated by designated personnel. We will protect whistleblowers and ensure there is no victimisation for raising genuine concerns.
Implementation measures
Our practical measures include contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws, supplier declarations, and spot checks. We integrate modern slavery considerations into tender evaluations for Feltham skip hire contracts and ensure transparency through documented evidence and records of supplier performance reviews.
Monitoring and continuous improvement are embedded in our governance. We conduct an annual review of our policies, audit results and training effectiveness. The review assesses emerging risks and updates controls accordingly. Progress is reported to senior management and used to refine our action plan for the coming year.
