Twickenham Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

Twickenham Skip Hire is committed to a zero-tolerance policy on all forms of modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out how we prevent, detect and respond to risks of slavery and trafficking in our operations and supply chains. Our commitment is clear: everyone who works with or for Twickenham Skip Hire must be treated with dignity and respect.

Scope and purpose of our anti-slavery policy

This policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Twickenham Skip Hire and to the behaviours expected of third parties. We expect suppliers to adhere to the same high standards contained in this modern slavery statement and the company’s anti-slavery policy. Compliance with applicable laws and international conventions on slavery and human trafficking is non-negotiable.

Zero-tolerance and leadership oversight

The Board and senior management maintain direct oversight of our modern slavery and human trafficking response. Our zero-tolerance approach means any credible allegation of forced labour, debt bondage, or exploitation will prompt immediate investigation and appropriate corrective action, including termination of contracts where necessary.

Twickenham Skip Hire conducts risk-based supplier due diligence to identify potential exposure to slavery and human trafficking. We assess new and existing partners for risks related to recruitment practices, working hours, wage fairness and subcontracting chains. Our supplier audits and assessments form a central part of our vendor management program and are carried out on a regular cycle.

We maintain a programme of supplier audits that includes documentation checks, on-site inspections where appropriate and verification of employment records. Audit findings are tracked and remediation plans are required for any issues found. Suppliers must demonstrate transparent labour practices and adherence to our modern slavery statement for Twickenham Skip Hire.

To support these controls we include contractual clauses that prohibit forced labour and require notification of any changes in employment practices. Where risks are identified, we require corrective action plans, timelines for remediation and ongoing monitoring. Our procurement criteria favour partners with robust anti-slavery and human rights management systems.

Twickenham Skip Hire provides multiple confidential reporting channels to enable employees, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about suspected slavery or exploitation. Reports can be made anonymously and will be treated seriously and investigated promptly. We encourage the use of internal reporting lines, and all allegations are protected from retaliation.

We operate a clear investigation process: alleged breaches of our anti-slavery policy are logged, risk-assessed and assigned to trained investigators. If evidence of modern slavery or forced labour is found, we take swift remedial action, which may include suspension of contracts, restitution for affected individuals and referrals to law enforcement when required.

Twickenham Skip Hire undertakes an annual review of this modern slavery statement to evaluate effectiveness and update measures. The review covers audit outcomes, incident reports, training completion rates and supplier performance. Results inform policy enhancements, additional controls and targeted supplier engagement to reduce risks across our operations and supply chain.

Key elements of our approach include:

• Proactive supplier audits and due diligence
• Clear contractual obligations and supplier remediation
• Confidential reporting channels and rigorous investigations

These actions reinforce our ongoing efforts to eliminate slavery and trafficking from our business relationships.

Training and awareness are central to preventing abuse. We provide regular training for employees with procurement, HR and operational responsibilities on recognising signs of exploitation and the procedures for escalation. Our leadership team receives targeted briefings and performance metrics related to modern slavery prevention.

Twickenham Skip Hire remains committed to continuous improvement. We will publish updates to this statement following each annual review and as new risks or regulatory changes arise. By combining robust supplier audits, transparent reporting channels, a strict zero-tolerance policy and periodic review, we aim to ensure our operations and supply chains remain free from exploitation and forced labour.
