Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Golders Green

Our organisation, operating as Skip Hire Golders Green and providing skip hire services across Golders Green and surrounding areas, is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. We maintain a zero-tolerance stance towards any instance of forced labour, servitude, child exploitation or human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This statement outlines our approach, expectations and actions.

Scope and Purpose

This modern-slavery policy applies to all employees, contractors and business partners engaged by Golders Green skip hire and affiliated operations. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers, subcontractors and partners. The purpose of this statement is to make clear that the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking is an integral part of how we operate.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Governance

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. Any confirmed breach will lead to decisive action, including termination of contracts and reporting to the appropriate authorities. Senior management and the board have overall responsibility for ensuring compliance. Our governance arrangements include oversight of policies, implementation, and remediation measures where issues are identified.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

We carry out ongoing risk assessments focusing on areas where the risk of exploitation is higher, such as manual labour, temporary staffing and suppliers operating in jurisdictions with weaker labour protections. Our due diligence process examines recruitment practices, working conditions and documentation. We require key suppliers to provide evidence of lawful employment practices and to cooperate with checks.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We operate a supplier audit programme to monitor compliance throughout the supply chain. Audits include documentation checks, site visits and worker interviews where appropriate. Suppliers are assessed on criteria including fair pay, working hours, recruitment fees, and freedom of movement. Non-compliance triggers corrective action plans and, if unresolved, termination of the relationship. The programme is reviewed regularly to adapt to emerging risks.

• Supplier pre-qualification checks
• Periodic on-site audits
• Third-party verification where required

Training and Awareness

We deliver targeted training for employees and managers to help them recognise signs of exploitation and to understand reporting channels. Training materials are updated annually and tailored for roles with higher exposure to risk. We encourage a culture of vigilance where staff feel empowered to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Regular briefings and refreshers form part of our ongoing commitment to awareness.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple safe channels for reporting suspected modern slavery, including confidential internal reporting lines and anonymous reporting mechanisms. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and objectively, and any necessary remedial action is taken. We support victims and cooperate with law enforcement and NGOs to ensure safe outcomes. Protecting whistleblowers and ensuring confidentiality are core principles of our approach.

Remediation and Support

Where instances of exploitation are identified, we will take immediate steps to stop the abuse, protect the affected individuals and remediate harms where possible. This can include sourcing alternative accommodation, facilitating access to legal advice, liaising with support organisations and ensuring safe repatriation if appropriate. Our aim is to restore dignity and provide practical support for recovery.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and related policies to evaluate effectiveness and to implement improvements. The review examines audit outcomes, training uptake, incident trends and supplier performance. Findings are reported to senior management, and action plans are developed and monitored to strengthen prevention and response measures.

Commitment and Approval

Skip Hire Golders Green reaffirms its commitment to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and supply chain. We will continue to increase transparency, engage with stakeholders, and take decisive action when standards are not met. This statement is made in good faith and will be reviewed and updated as required to reflect changes in our business and the evolving risk landscape.
