Modern Slavery Statement for Belgravia Movers

Belgravia Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the moving and logistics sector can involve multiple suppliers, contractors, and temporary labour providers, which is why a clear zero-tolerance approach is essential. Our commitment applies across all activities, from office administration to transport, packing, and storage services.

Our Commitment and Principles

Belgravia Movers maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in any form. We expect all employees, agency workers, subcontractors, and suppliers to uphold the same standards. This policy is embedded in our procurement practices, employment procedures, and commercial agreements. We require that work is undertaken freely, fairly, and safely, with wages paid lawfully and with proper regard to working hours, age verification, and personal dignity. Any breach of these expectations may result in suspension or termination of the relationship.

Risk Awareness Across the Business

We understand that modern slavery risks may arise in labour-intensive sectors, particularly where there is reliance on outsourced services or lower-tier subcontracting. To address this, Belgravia Movers reviews risk indicators across hiring, transport, warehousing, cleaning, and goods handling. We pay particular attention to recruitment practices, identity documentation, and any signs of coercion, debt bondage, or restriction of movement. Where necessary, we apply additional checks and corrective action to reduce exposure.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our approach. Before engaging suppliers, we assess their policies, labour practices, and compliance history. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to supplier audits, document reviews, and follow-up assessments to confirm their controls are effective. These audits may include verification of worker contracts, payroll records, age checks, and evidence of ethical recruitment. We also expect suppliers to cascade these standards through their own supply chains and to cooperate fully with any review we may request.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities

Employees involved in procurement, management, and site operations receive guidance on recognising warning signs and escalating concerns. Managers are responsible for ensuring that teams understand the risks associated with exploitation and the importance of ethical decision-making. Our Belgravia Movers modern slavery statement is supported by internal controls that promote accountability, including approval processes for new suppliers and periodic monitoring of existing arrangements. We aim to create a culture where concerns are treated seriously and acted upon promptly.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We encourage all workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report concerns about possible exploitation or unethical labour practices without delay. Reporting channels are available through line management and internal compliance routes, and concerns may be raised confidentially. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports a genuine concern in good faith. Reports are reviewed promptly, investigated where appropriate, and followed by corrective action, which may include engagement with the supplier, remediation plans, or ending the relationship if standards are not met.

This Belgravia Movers slavery and human trafficking statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and business developments. The annual review assesses risk exposure, audit findings, training activity, and any reported concerns. Where improvements are identified, we update our controls and processes accordingly. We are committed to continuous improvement and to strengthening our due diligence year after year.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

At Belgravia Movers, we believe that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time exercise. Through clear standards, supplier audits, reporting channels, and regular review, we work to ensure our operations remain ethical and responsible. This statement reflects our commitment to protect workers, uphold lawful employment practices, and maintain a business culture grounded in respect and integrity.
