Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Brockley

Skip Hire Brockley is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our policy and actions, reflects our status as a responsible provider of skip hire in Brockley, and demonstrates a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour or exploitation across our services.

We recognise the risks associated with waste management and Brockley skip hire supply chains. Our board and senior leadership maintain clear accountability for ethical standards and require that every partner and contractor aligns with our expectations. We will not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chains.

All staff, drivers, and contractors engaged in Brockley skip-hire services receive training and clear guidance on recognising signs of exploitation and the process for escalation. We require adherence to our Supplier Code of Conduct and include anti-slavery clauses in our contracts. Our approach to due diligence includes risk-based assessments of suppliers and ongoing oversight of suppliers who supply goods or services to our skip hire operations.

Policies and Procedures

Our policies set the framework for action. Key measures include:

• Zero-tolerance policy: a formal, published company policy that applies to all workers, contractors and suppliers engaged by Brockley skip hire.
• Supplier audits and monitoring: scheduled and ad-hoc audits to verify compliance with labour standards.
• Reporting channels: confidential and secure ways for workers and third parties to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We operate a risk-based supplier audit programme for our Brockley waste skip hire supply chain. Audits are conducted by trained compliance officers and independent third parties where appropriate, and include review of:

employment records, recruitment practices, subcontractor management, and on-site conditions. We prioritise audits for suppliers in higher risk sectors and geographies and require timely corrective action plans where issues are identified.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. These include internal reporting lines, a protected escalation route to senior management, and anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports are investigated promptly, impartially and with appropriate confidentiality to protect those who report in good faith.

We also enforce standards through contract clauses and routine contract reviews. Suppliers and subcontractors are required to cooperate with investigations and allow access for audits. Failure to remediate identified issues can lead to suspension or termination of contracts with any Brockley skip hire partner found non-compliant.

Training and awareness are central to our prevention strategy. We deliver periodic targeted training for managers, procurement staff and frontline teams to ensure they can recognise the indicators of modern slavery and take appropriate action. Staff training records are maintained and reviewed as part of our governance processes.

Monitoring, Key Performance Indicators, and Continuous Improvement We measure effectiveness through a set of KPIs including the number of supplier audits completed, corrective actions closed within agreed timescales, and reports investigated. Findings from audits and reports feed into an annual risk assessment and help shape improvements to policies, contracts and training for our Brockley skip-hire operations.

We are committed to transparent governance. The senior leadership team reviews modern slavery risk quarterly and receives annual briefings on compliance outcomes. Our annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement evaluates results from supplier audits, reporting channel effectiveness and training uptake, and sets targets for the following year.

Our aim as a responsible Brockley skip hire provider is to embed respect for human rights throughout our business and supply chain. We will continue to strengthen controls, collaborate with suppliers, and promote a culture that supports victims and prevents harm.

By maintaining a clear zero-tolerance stance combined with robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a committed annual review process, Skip Hire Brockley asserts its ongoing dedication to combating modern slavery and protecting human dignity in all aspects of our operations.
