Modern Slavery Statement — Raynes Park Skip Hire

Raynes Park Skip Hire recognises its responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This modern slavery statement outlines the measures we take, the expectations we set for partners, and our commitment to continuous improvement. As a local skip hire provider, Raynes Park skip-hire services must operate with integrity, transparency and respect for every worker.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, child labour, servitude or trafficking. All employees and contractors are required to adhere to our code of conduct which makes clear that exploitation will not be tolerated. Breaches of this policy will result in disciplinary action, contract termination and, where appropriate, reporting to the relevant authorities. This applies across Raynes Park Skips, skip hire Raynes Park partners and any third-party suppliers engaged by us.

Our approach is not limited to policies on paper: we require active compliance and visible enforcement. We communicate expectations during onboarding and through regular training, including awareness of indicators of exploitation, vulnerable worker protections and lawful employment practices.

Supplier due diligence and ongoing supplier audits are central to our prevention strategy. Before engaging new providers we conduct risk-based checks, request evidence of labour standards and review employment records. For higher-risk categories we maintain a formal audit programme that assesses working hours, wage records, recruitment practices and accommodation provisions where relevant. We prioritise transparency and demand corrective action plans for any non-compliance identified.

Supplier Audits and Contractual Controls

Supplier audits include documentation review and, where necessary, site visits by trained staff. Contracts require suppliers to uphold our anti-slavery clauses and permit audit rights. We maintain a tiered approach: higher frequency audits for suppliers in higher-risk jurisdictions or those providing labour-intensive services. This tiering helps focus resources where risk is greatest for the Raynes Park Skip Hire supply network.

We use a combination of internal assessments and third-party verifications to validate compliance. Where issues are found we work collaboratively to remediate problems, impose sanctions or terminate relationships if firms fail to improve. Our procurement team monitors adherence to these standards across skip hire Raynes Park operations and contracted partners.

Reporting channels are available to all employees, contractors and third parties who want to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. We operate confidential internal reporting mechanisms and encourage reporting by phone, email or in person to designated compliance officers; anonymity is respected where requested. All reports are investigated promptly, and protective measures are put in place for potential victims.

The channels include a formal whistleblowing process, and managers are trained to recognise signs of exploitation. We emphasise non-retaliation and ensure that anyone raising concerns in good faith is protected. Our goal is to foster a culture where raising issues is supported and acted upon effectively.

We will continue to review and strengthen all measures through an annual review of our policies, audits and training programmes. Each year we publish a summary of improvements, lessons learned and planned actions to further reduce risks within our operations and the wider Raynes Park skip hire sector. The review cycle includes stakeholder feedback, performance metrics from supplier audits and updates to contractual requirements.

In summary, Raynes Park Skip Hire is committed to robust prevention of modern slavery through strict policies, regular supplier audits, clear reporting channels and an annual review process to ensure continuous improvement. We will continue to work with partners and regulators to eliminate exploitation and maintain high ethical standards across all our skip hire services.
