Skip Hire Yiewsley Modern Slavery Statement

Skip Hire Yiewsley (also referenced as Yiewsley skip hire and skip-hire Yiewsley) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This statement outlines our approach, expectations and the actions we take to ensure that exploitation has no place in our business or among our suppliers.

Our Zero-Tolerance Commitment

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of forced labour, servitude, slavery and human trafficking. All employees and contractors are required to comply with our standards. Any allegation or evidence of exploitation will be treated with the utmost seriousness, investigated promptly and escalated under internal disciplinary procedures. We will not tolerate any breach of this policy.

Scope and Responsibilities

This modern slavery declaration applies to our on-site operations, vehicle fleets, waste handling and the procurement of goods and services. Senior management, procurement and compliance teams share responsibility for implementation. We require all staff to complete awareness training and to uphold ethical labour practices across every engagement with third parties.

Supply Chain Standards

Our supplier expectations are clear: suppliers to Skip Hire Yiewsley must abide by local laws and demonstrate respect for workers' rights. We embed anti-slavery clauses in contracts, require proof of legal employment and insist on safe working conditions. Where appropriate, we seek industry certifications and documentary evidence of compliance.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We conduct regular supplier audits and risk assessments to verify compliance. Audits include document reviews, on-site inspections and interviews. High-risk suppliers are subject to enhanced scrutiny, corrective action plans and re-audits. Our audit process includes:

• Pre-engagement due diligence
• Periodic on-site and remote audits
• Verification of employment records and working hours
• Assessment of recruitment channels and fee practices

Non-compliance may result in contract termination or suspension until corrective actions are completed.

Policies, Training and Communication

We maintain a suite of policies that reinforce anti-slavery requirements. All procurement staff and line managers receive mandatory training to recognise indicators of modern slavery and to apply our supplier due diligence procedures. We encourage open communication and promote awareness of worker rights throughout the supply chain.

Reporting Channels

We provide secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and suppliers to raise concerns. Reports can be made internally through our designated compliance routes and will be treated confidentially. All allegations are logged, triaged and investigated according to our incident management process. We prohibit retaliation and protect whistleblowers.

Enforcement and Remediation

When modern slavery risks are identified, we act decisively. Remedial measures may include worker support, recovery of unlawful fees, changes to procurement practices and, where necessary, disengagement from suppliers who fail to remediate. Our approach balances enforcement with practical remediation to protect victims and prevent recurrence.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We conduct an annual review of our modern slavery programme to evaluate effectiveness and update controls. That review informs updates to policies, risk assessments, training and audit frequency. Skip Hire Yiewsley will continue to strengthen partnerships, improve transparency and report progress internally. This statement will be reviewed at least once every year and amended as necessary to reflect changes in operations or emerging risks.
