Modern Slavery Statement — Peckham Skip Hire

Peckham Skip Hire affirms a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across all operations. This modern slavery statement sets out how the Peckham skip hire business identifies, prevents and mitigates the risk of exploitation in our workforce and supply chain. We are committed to ensuring that skip hire in Peckham, and our wider skip services, are provided ethically, safely and transparently, reflecting our values and legal obligations.

Policy: Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers. We make clear that any form of coercion, debt bondage, deceptive recruiting, withholding of documents or unfair working conditions is strictly prohibited. Staff and partners are expected to follow our standards, and the company will take robust action where breaches are identified. Peckham skip-hire standards require that dignity and human rights are respected at every stage of service delivery.

Scope, Governance and Responsibilities

This statement applies to all parts of our organisation and to the suppliers and subcontractors engaged in skip hire services across Peckham and neighbouring areas. The Board provides oversight and assigns senior responsibility for modern slavery compliance. Operational managers maintain day-to-day accountability for procurement, logistics and contractor management. We require that suppliers demonstrate compliance through documented policies, risk assessments and open cooperation with audits and investigations.

Due diligence includes supplier audits, contractual clauses and risk-based screening. Our supplier audit process is designed to verify working hours, payment terms, right-to-work checks and health and safety practices. Key elements include:

• Risk-based supplier assessments
• Periodic on-site and remote audits
• Contract clauses requiring ethical labour standards
• Corrective action plans where issues are found

We use a mixture of self-assessment, third-party verification and targeted inspections to ensure compliance across the supply chain for our skip services.

Reporting Channels and Protections

We provide confidential reporting channels for workers, contractors and third parties to raise concerns without fear of recrimination. Reports can be made via internal whistleblowing mechanisms and through secure, anonymous channels managed by our governance team. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and treated with confidentiality. Where exploitation is suspected, we will act to protect affected individuals and coordinate with appropriate authorities and support services.

Training and awareness are central to prevention. All staff involved in procurement, operations and contractor oversight receive regular training on recognising signs of modern slavery, the obligations of Peckham Skip Hire and the procedures to follow. We maintain records of training completion and evaluate effectiveness through assessments and feedback. Our procurement teams include clauses that require suppliers to allow audits and to remediate any identified issues.

Review and continuous improvement: Peckham Skip Hire will review this modern slavery statement and our practices at least annually. The annual review examines incident reports, audit findings, training records and supplier performance to identify trends and improve controls. Remediation is prioritised where non-compliance is discovered: we seek to resolve issues collaboratively but will terminate relationships where suppliers fail to rectify exploitative practices.

Conclusion: By embedding a clear zero-tolerance position, robust supplier audits, secure reporting channels and a disciplined annual review process, Peckham Skip Hire aims to minimise the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain. We are committed to continuous improvement and to promoting ethical skip hire across Peckham and beyond.
