Modern Slavery Statement for Harrow Movers

Harrow Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and across our supply chain. We recognise that a strong anti-slavery approach is essential to responsible business practice, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.

Our Commitment and Principles

As a removals business, Harrow Movers works with employees, subcontractors, and suppliers in a range of settings. We understand that risks may exist wherever labour is used, particularly in transport, storage, packing, and support services. Our Harrow Movers modern slavery policy is built on clear expectations: every worker must be treated lawfully, paid fairly, and protected from coercion, intimidation, or abuse. We expect the same standards from everyone acting on our behalf.

We do not knowingly engage with any person or organisation involved in modern slavery. Any breach of our standards is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate termination of a business relationship. Our leadership team reviews ethical compliance regularly and promotes a culture where fair treatment, transparency, and accountability are embedded into daily operations.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Harrow Movers applies due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. We assess the nature of services, geographic risk, labour practices, and any indicators of vulnerability before entering into agreements. Our supplier audits include checks on working conditions, wage practices, identity documentation, subcontracting arrangements, and recruitment processes. Where concerns arise, we request corrective action and monitor progress closely.

We also include anti-slavery expectations in supplier terms and procurement reviews. Suppliers must confirm that they comply with all applicable labour laws and that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour. When necessary, we may ask for evidence of training, policies, and internal controls. This helps strengthen our modern slavery risk management framework and supports safer working relationships throughout the supply chain.

Training and Awareness

Employees involved in recruitment, procurement, fleet management, and contract oversight receive guidance on identifying warning signs such as withheld documents, restricted movement, debt bondage, and inconsistent pay arrangements. This awareness helps staff respond appropriately and supports the wider aim of preventing exploitation within the Harrow Movers supply chain.

Reporting Concerns and Speaking Up

Harrow Movers encourages anyone who suspects modern slavery or unsafe labour practices to raise concerns promptly. We provide internal reporting channels so employees can report issues confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be escalated through management, compliance leads, or designated reporting procedures. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion.

We make clear that retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith will not be tolerated. Supporting safe reporting is a key part of our commitment to ethical employment and responsible sourcing. Our anti-modern slavery measures rely on vigilance, openness, and swift action where risks are identified.

If a report indicates possible exploitation, we will act to protect those affected and to preserve evidence where appropriate. We may suspend work with relevant parties, initiate further checks, or notify the appropriate authorities where necessary. These steps help ensure that our modern slavery compliance remains practical, effective, and aligned with our values.

Monitoring, Review, and Improvement

Harrow Movers is committed to continuous improvement in tackling modern slavery risks. We conduct an annual review of this statement and of the controls that support it, considering changes in legislation, business activity, supply chain risk, and audit findings. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures, strengthen training, and refine supplier oversight.

This statement reflects our ongoing effort to protect people, uphold lawful and ethical business conduct, and contribute to a supply chain free from exploitation. By maintaining a clear zero-tolerance stance, performing supplier audits, supporting confidential reporting, and reviewing our approach each year, Harrow Movers demonstrates a lasting commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms.
