Modern Slavery Statement — Turnham Green Skip Hire
Our commitment
Turnham Green Skip Hire maintains a clear and uncompromising stance: we have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in all forms. This statement sets out how Turnham Green Skip-Hire identifies, prevents and responds to risks of exploitation across our operations and supply chain. It applies to all colleagues, contractors and partners engaged with Turnham Green Skips and TG Skip Hire activities.
We recognise the responsibility we bear as a skip hire operator and waste-management service provider to ensure ethical practices. Our approach is based on prevention, detection and continuous improvement. This statement explains governance, due diligence, supplier audits and the reporting channels we make available to anyone who suspects malpractice.
Our policy is enforced by senior management and forms part of company culture at Turnham Green Skip Hire Ltd. We expect every supplier and subcontractor to comply with our standards and contractual provisions that prohibit any form of modern slavery. Where breaches are discovered we will act swiftly and proportionately, including termination of contracts and referral to authorities where necessary.
Due diligence and supplier audits
We operate a risk-based due diligence programme that targets higher-risk suppliers and activities. Our supplier assessment process includes documentation checks, on-site visits where appropriate, and third-party verification. The programme is designed to identify indicators of forced labour, debt bondage, restricted movement, withheld pay or fraudulent recruitment fees.
Supplier audits are a core control. Audit activities include:
- Verification of employment contracts and pay records
- Checks on recruitment practices and third-party labour providers
- Health and safety and welfare assessments
- Interviews and worker safeguarding measures
Findings from audits are assessed and categorised. For minor non-compliance we require prompt remediation plans. For significant or systemic violations we reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships with immediate effect, and to cooperate with law enforcement. Our procurement terms for Turnham Green Skip Hire and Turnham Green Skip-Hire partners include express anti-slavery clauses and audit rights.
Reporting channels and protection
We maintain clear reporting channels to support anyone who becomes aware of suspected modern slavery. Reports can be raised internally through confidential channels and escalated to senior management. We provide whistleblowing protections and ensure reports are investigated impartially and promptly. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
As part of safeguarding, we offer training for staff and contractors to recognise signs of exploitation and to understand how to report concerns. Training materials emphasise practical indicators and the responsibilities of managers in the TG Skip Hire family to act responsibly and sensitively.
Our response protocols include immediate protective measures for potential victims and follow-up actions such as:
- Investigation: fact-finding and evidence gathering
- Remediation: support for affected individuals while ensuring legal compliance
- Enforcement: contractual, civil or criminal actions when appropriate
We collaborate with relevant agencies, industry groups and specialist organisations to strengthen safeguards and share best practice relevant to the skip hire and waste-management sectors. Our anti-slavery measures are proportionate to identified risks and continually reviewed.
Governance sits with the Board and senior leadership of Turnham Green Skips, who retain oversight of policy effectiveness and resource allocation.
We will keep our statement under regular review. An annual review cycle is in place to evaluate the effectiveness of policies, training, supplier audits and reporting outcomes, and to set actions for the coming year. This ensures the modern slavery statement for Turnham Green Skip Hire remains current and robust.
By adopting a strong stance, performing targeted supplier audits, maintaining accessible reporting channels and committing to an annual review, Turnham Green Skip Hire Ltd aims to prevent and address modern slavery across our business and extended supply chain.
