Modern Slavery Statement for Kensington Movers

Kensington Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the moving and logistics sector can involve complex service arrangements, subcontracting, and labour-intensive work, which makes vigilance essential.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies across the whole organisation. We do not permit any form of modern slavery, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or coercion within our workforce or among our suppliers. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate termination of contracts, disciplinary action, or referral to the appropriate authorities. Kensington Movers expects every employee, contractor, and business partner to uphold the same standard.

We embed these principles into recruitment, onboarding, and supplier management. All workers must be employed voluntarily, with clear terms of engagement and lawful pay practices. We do not retain identity documents, require inappropriate fees, or tolerate intimidation in any form. Our procedures are designed to protect vulnerable workers and promote a safe, ethical workplace throughout the Kensington Movers business.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

We understand that effective prevention depends on careful oversight of our supply chain. Kensington Movers carries out proportionate checks on suppliers and subcontractors before engagement and throughout the relationship. These checks may include confirmation of labour practices, assessment of subcontracting chains, and review of policies relating to working hours, wages, and worker welfare. Where risks are identified, we require corrective action and monitor progress closely.

Supplier audits are a core part of our approach. Depending on the nature of the service and the assessed risk, audits may be documentary, remote, or on-site. We review worker contracts, payroll records, right-to-work controls, and evidence of safe and lawful working conditions. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we may suspend the relationship until improvements are verified. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time exercise; it is an ongoing responsibility.

We also train relevant managers to identify warning signs such as restricted movement, unexplained deductions, unusually long hours, or a lack of freedom to speak openly. By strengthening awareness, Kensington Movers improves its ability to act early and decisively. We expect the same alertness from trusted suppliers and encourage open cooperation when concerns arise.

Reporting, Accountability, and Review

Everyone working with Kensington Movers has a role in preventing exploitation. We provide multiple reporting channels for workers, managers, and suppliers to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports may be made confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All allegations are reviewed promptly, recorded appropriately, and escalated where necessary for investigation and action.

Where concerns are substantiated, we will take firm and proportionate action. This may include additional audits, corrective plans, worker support measures, contract suspension, or termination. We are committed to protecting individuals who raise concerns in good faith and to ensuring that no one is disadvantaged for speaking up. Our ethical trading approach relies on transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.

This statement is reviewed annually by senior leadership to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The annual review considers audit findings, incident reports, training completion, supplier performance, and any changes in risk exposure. If improvements are needed, Kensington Movers will update its policies, strengthen controls, and refine its due diligence processes.

Our Commitment

Kensington Movers is determined to operate responsibly and to maintain a supply chain that reflects our values. We believe that zero tolerance for modern slavery must be supported by practical controls, active monitoring, and a willingness to act when risks appear. Through supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to safeguard workers and uphold the highest standards of conduct. This modern slavery statement represents our continuing commitment to responsible business and respect for human dignity.
