Modern Slavery Statement for Queenspark Movers

Queenspark Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles, controls, and responsibilities that guide our efforts to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and other forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that Queenspark Movers operates in a sector where people, vehicles, warehouses, subcontracted services, and third-party suppliers may all be connected, so vigilance is essential. Our approach is built on a clear zero-tolerance policy, active oversight of suppliers, and accessible reporting routes for concerns.

Modern slavery has no place in our business or in any part of our supply chain. We expect every employee, contractor, and supplier to uphold the same standard. Any breach of this expectation may result in immediate action, including termination of a relationship or contract. The Queenspark Movers modern slavery commitment is embedded in recruitment, procurement, and operational decision-making. We seek to ensure that all work is carried out voluntarily, fairly, and in compliance with applicable labour laws and human rights principles.

To support this commitment, Queenspark Movers maintains clear internal controls designed to identify and reduce modern slavery risks. These include due diligence checks during onboarding, periodic workforce reviews, and procurement assessments for higher-risk categories. We evaluate whether labour providers and subcontractors use lawful employment practices, maintain transparent records, and provide safe working conditions. Where risk indicators arise, we investigate promptly and require corrective action where necessary.

Our supplier management programme is central to the Queenspark Movers anti-slavery strategy. We assess suppliers based on the nature of the service, geography, labour intensity, and reliance on subcontracting. Supplier audits may be announced or unannounced, depending on risk. Audits review payroll records, right-to-work documentation, working hours, grievance handling, and worker welfare practices. We also expect suppliers to maintain their own anti-slavery standards and to cascade these expectations to their own supply chains.

When concerns are raised, Queenspark Movers applies a structured response. We may request documents, interview relevant parties, suspend a supplier, or end the relationship if remediation is not possible. Our objective is not only compliance but meaningful prevention. This means examining how work is organised, whether vulnerable workers are being exploited, and whether any recruitment fees or debt bondage practices exist. We believe that responsible business requires active prevention rather than passive assurances.

Reporting channels are an essential part of our governance framework. Employees and workers are encouraged to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes, HR processes, or designated safeguarding channels, and all concerns are treated seriously. Queenspark Movers aims to create a culture in which speaking up is supported, protected, and acted upon. Confidentiality is respected wherever possible, and allegations are reviewed impartially.

Training and awareness support our broader compliance efforts. Relevant teams, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier oversight, receive guidance on recognising modern slavery indicators. These may include restricted movement, inconsistent pay, inability to retain personal documents, signs of coercion, or workers who appear fearful or controlled. By strengthening awareness, the Queenspark Movers modern slavery framework helps people identify risks early and escalate them appropriately.

We also recognise that prevention is an ongoing process, not a one-time exercise. The company monitors legal developments, industry risks, and operational changes that could affect exposure to exploitation. This includes reviewing the use of agency labour, subcontracted services, and cross-border suppliers. Our zero-tolerance policy remains the foundation of all action, and every decision is measured against our responsibility to protect workers and uphold ethical standards.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current practice. The annual review considers the results of supplier audits, reported concerns, remediation actions, training activity, and any changes to the risk profile of our business. Where improvements are identified, Queenspark Movers updates its controls and procedures accordingly. Through continual review, strong oversight, and a firm commitment to human dignity, Queenspark Movers seeks to operate responsibly and to help prevent modern slavery in all its forms.
