Skip Hire Coney Hall Modern Slavery Statement

Skip Hire Coney Hall sets out a clear position: we have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and any form of forced labour in our operations and supply chains. As a local Coney Hall skip hire and waste management provider, we recognise our responsibility to take active steps to prevent exploitation and to promote fair, lawful labour practices throughout our partners and contractors.

This statement applies to all parts of our business, including skip hire in Coney Hall, transport logistics, subcontracted labour and temporary staffing. We are committed to ensuring that our procurement, contracting and operational practices reduce the risk of modern slavery. To achieve this we set expectations of suppliers and include modern slavery clauses in contracts where appropriate, and we publish our approach internally so employees and partners understand our standards.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We operate a risk-based supplier due diligence programme for all vendors supplying goods and services to Skip Hire Coney Hall. This includes initial screening, ongoing monitoring and periodic on-site or remote audits. Our audit programme focuses on key risk indicators such as recruitment practices, wage records, working hours, health and safety compliance and the use of labour intermediaries. Suppliers found to be at higher risk receive targeted audits and corrective action plans.

Audit outcomes inform decisions on continued engagement. We use a tiered approach for our Coney Hall skip-hire suppliers: higher-value or higher-risk partners are audited more frequently. Where audits identify non-compliance, we require documented remediation within defined timelines and reserve the right to terminate contracts for serious breaches. Our procurement team documents findings, corrective actions and closure verification as part of each supplier file.

We expect suppliers to implement their own anti-slavery policies and to allow us to assess compliance. Supplier obligations include transparent payroll processes, verified worker identities and clear recruitment fee policies so that no worker bears the cost of employment. These requirements form part of the contract and are enforced through routine review.

Reporting Channels, Training and Protections

Skip Hire Coney Hall provides multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about potential modern slavery, exploitation or unethical conduct. Reports are handled sensitively, investigated promptly and escalated to senior management when necessary. We emphasise protection against retaliation and maintain procedures to keep whistleblowers' identities confidential where requested.

Training is delivered across our business to ensure staff recognise signs of modern slavery and understand how to report concerns. Training covers operational teams involved in deliveries, collections and depot activities, as well as procurement staff who manage supplier relationships. We also communicate expectations to subcontractors and labour providers to promote a consistent approach across the local Coney Hall skip hire market.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: our modern slavery statement and associated policies are reviewed at least once each year by senior management to ensure they remain effective, relevant and aligned with evolving legal and sector standards. The annual review assesses audit results, incident reports, training uptake and supplier performance. Where improvements are identified, we update procedures, increase monitoring or adjust contractual terms to strengthen prevention and remediation.

Skip Hire Coney Hall will continue to engage with industry peers, suppliers and stakeholders to share best practice and to enhance our approach to preventing forced labour and human trafficking. Our commitment to ethical supply chain management underpins our operations and reputation as a responsible provider of skip hire and waste services in the Coney Hall area.

We take a pragmatic, evidence-led approach: regular supplier audits, clear contractual obligations, accessible reporting channels and mandatory staff training. These measures, combined with our zero-tolerance stance, ensure that modern slavery risks are addressed proactively and that any issues identified are remediated swiftly.

If concerns are identified, we will act decisively — including suspension of activity, corrective plans or contract termination where required — while supporting affected individuals and cooperating with relevant authorities as appropriate. This statement is approved by the leadership of Skip Hire Coney Hall and will be published as part of our ongoing transparency and accountability efforts.
