We maintain a zero-tolerance policy on exploitation and forced labour.Zero-Tolerance Policy and Corporate Commitment
Our modern slavery policy establishes that any form of slavery, servitude, forced labour or human trafficking is unacceptable. Stockwell Skip Hire enforces a zero-tolerance policy across recruitment, employment and procurement practices. All employees and contractors are required to adhere to these principles as a condition of engagement. We emphasise that breaches will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of contracts and referral to authorities where appropriate.
We use the term modern slavery and human trafficking statement to cover policies, processes and controls that aim to prevent exploitation in our operations and throughout our supply chain. This modern slavery statement for Stockwell Skip Hire applies to all sites, subsidiaries and third-party suppliers, and is reviewed annually to ensure relevance and effectiveness.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Stockwell Skip Hire operates a structured supplier due diligence programme. We conduct risk-based supplier audits and vetting processes to assess labour standards, subcontractor management and compliance with employment laws. Our supplier audit process includes documentary checks, on-site inspections where necessary, and follow-up action plans to address identified issues.
As part of our procurement controls, we require suppliers to provide evidence of legal right to work, transparent payroll records and clear terms for temporary and migrant workers. We implement corrective action plans when audits reveal non-compliance, and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to remediate serious breaches. Supplier monitoring is ongoing and tailored to risk level.
We expect our contractors and supply partners to commit to the same standards and to cascade these expectations to their subcontractors. Key supplier expectations include:
- Clear evidence of lawful employment status and safe working conditions;
- Fair wages, transparent timekeeping and no unlawful deductions;
- Practices that prohibit forced labour, trafficking or coercion.
Reporting Channels and Protection
We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery, forced labour or human trafficking. Reports may be raised internally through line managers, HR, or dedicated compliance officers. In addition we maintain an internal incident reporting protocol to ensure allegations are investigated promptly and impartially.
Stockwell Skip Hire guarantees protection for whistleblowers and those who report concerns in good faith; retaliation is strictly prohibited. Reporting channels are supported by clear investigation procedures, record keeping and escalation paths to senior management. Where allegations indicate criminal activity, we will involve law enforcement and regulatory bodies as required.
