Skip Hire Parsons Green Modern Slavery Statement

Skip Hire Parsons Green affirms a zero-tolerance policy to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our commitment as a responsible provider of Parsons Green skip hire services, describing the measures we take to prevent exploitation, the due diligence applied to suppliers, and the mechanisms for reporting concerns.

Our approach to preventing exploitation in the skip-hire Parsons Green sector is grounded in clear expectations, staff training and active monitoring. We require that everyone working for or with us, including contractors and sub-contractors, adheres to our ethical standards. We will not tolerate practices that are exploitative, including forced labour, bonded labour, or withholding of wages, and we use contractual clauses to reinforce these obligations.

Scope and responsibility

This statement applies to all employees, temporary labour, and suppliers engaged in the provision of skip hire in Parsons Green and adjacent areas. Senior management holds ultimate responsibility for ensuring compliance, while our operations and procurement teams implement day-to-day controls. We conduct regular training to raise awareness of modern slavery risks and to encourage a culture of reporting and transparency.

Supplier due diligence and audits

We operate a risk-based supplier management programme for all partners in the Parsons Green skip hire supply chain. This includes pre-engagement screening and ongoing checks. Our supplier audits focus on employment practices, recruitment fees, working hours and health and safety standards. Audit activities may include documentary review, site visits and interviews with workers to validate compliance.

Audit process and corrective action

Audits follow a defined protocol: identification of risk, verification, and remediation. Where issues are identified, suppliers must implement corrective action plans within agreed timescales. Persistent non-compliance will result in contract termination. Our audit checklist emphasises transparency, documentation of wage practices, and evidence that no worker is charged recruitment fees or subject to retention of identity documents.

Key elements of our supplier controls include:

• Pre-contract checks – identity, legal compliance and policies;
• Ongoing monitoring – periodic audits and performance reviews;
• Worker interviews – confidential discussions to detect hidden risks;
• Contract clauses – termination rights and remediation requirements.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Skip Hire Parsons Green provides multiple, confidential reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery and exploitation. Employees and third parties are encouraged to report suspected issues via anonymous reporting mechanisms, direct escalation to management, or through internal ethics reporting lines. We ensure that anyone who raises concerns in good faith is protected from retaliation and that reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly.

We maintain clear procedures for investigating reports, documenting findings, and taking appropriate action. Investigations aim to be thorough, fair and timely, and we work with external experts or authorities when criminal activity is suspected. Our reporting framework is designed to be accessible and to support vulnerable workers in our network.

Annual review and continuous improvement

We review this modern slavery statement and our policies at least once a year as part of our commitment to continuous improvement. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of due diligence, audit outcomes, training uptake, and any incidents or near misses. Findings inform updates to our risk assessment, supplier engagement strategy and training materials to strengthen protections across our Parsons Green skip hire operations.

In summary, Skip Hire Parsons Green remains committed to preventing modern slavery through a robust combination of policy, supplier audits, secure reporting channels and an annual review cycle. We believe that sustained vigilance, a culture of accountability, and strong supplier partnerships are essential to ensuring that all workers connected to our skip hire services are treated with dignity and respect. We will continue to refine our measures and to hold ourselves and our partners to the highest standards of ethical conduct.
