Modern Slavery Statement ??? House Movers Commitment

House Movers is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. This modern slavery statement outlines our zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, child labour, or exploitation across our residential moving services and the wider moving company network we work with. We recognise the responsibility of a home movers business to protect vulnerable workers and ensure ethical labour practices.

Our policy framework for our house-moving company sets clear expectations for employees and suppliers. We require all staff and contractors to comply with statutory labour standards and with our internal code of conduct. Training is provided to operational teams and procurement staff so that indicators of modern slavery are recognised and addressed. We use robust recruitment checks to ensure that all workers are engaged legally and voluntarily.

Suppliers to our moving company must adhere to contractual provisions that prohibit forced labour and human trafficking. We maintain a supplier code that states our anti-slavery stance and expects immediate remediation if breaches are identified. Key supplier expectations include:

• Transparent recruitment practices and documented employment terms.
• Prohibition of recruitment fees charged to workers.
• Freedom for workers to leave employment after reasonable notice.

Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Risk Management

We operate a risk-based due diligence process for our subcontractors, packaging suppliers and ancillary service providers engaged by this house movers organisation. Pre-contract checks, periodic audits and ongoing monitoring are used to evaluate compliance. Where suppliers present higher risk profiles ??? for example, those based in regions with weaker labour protections ??? we increase audit frequency and require corrective action plans.

Audits include documentary verification, site visits and worker interviews conducted by trained auditors. When concerns are identified, our approach is to work collaboratively with the supplier to remediate issues promptly while preserving worker safety and wellbeing. We will terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to implement corrective measures or that demonstrate repeated violations of our standards.

Reporting channels are integral to our detection strategy. Employees, subcontractors and third parties can report suspected modern slavery through multiple secure and, where requested, anonymous channels. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated by our compliance team. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation, and any substantiated incidents trigger immediate action, which may include suspension of contracts, remediation and referral to law enforcement where appropriate.

Remediation, Governance and Continuous Improvement

Our governance structure assigns oversight of modern slavery risk to senior management and the board-level compliance committee. Regular reviews of policies and procedures are conducted to ensure effective implementation within our home moving operations. We provide ongoing training to strengthen awareness across the entire workforce of our moving firm and emphasize ethical procurement practices.

To support transparency and continuous improvement, we maintain records of supplier audits, remediation plans and outcomes. We use key performance indicators to monitor progress, including the number of audits completed, reports received and corrective actions closed. As a responsible residential moving services provider, we aim to learn from incidents and reduce risk through supplier engagement and targeted capacity building.

This statement is reviewed annually to reflect changes in our business, supply chain footprint and regulatory expectations. The annual review process includes assessment of risk exposure, audit results and the effectiveness of reporting channels. By publicly stating our commitments, House Movers reaffirms a strong stance against modern slavery and human trafficking and pledges continual enhancement of our policies, supplier audits, reporting mechanisms and remediation practices to uphold the dignity and rights of all workers.
