Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Dalston

Skip Hire Dalston is committed to combating modern slavery in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement explains our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same standards from our partners and suppliers involved in skip hire services and associated waste management activities.

As a responsible Dalston skip hire provider, we recognise our duty to maintain transparency and due diligence. We take proactive steps to identify risk, implement controls, and maintain clear accountability across our teams. Our policies apply to all staff and contractors engaged in skip-hire Dalston operations, from administration through to on-site collections and disposal arrangements.

We set out this statement to detail the measures we have in place, including supplier audits, confidential reporting channels, and our commitment to an annual review cycle. These measures are designed to detect and deter exploitative practices within both direct and indirect relationships and to continuously strengthen our compliance with anti-slavery laws and best practice.

Policies, Training and Zero-Tolerance

Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: any evidence of modern slavery or human trafficking will result in immediate action, which may include termination of contracts and referral to the appropriate authorities. We maintain a written policy that is communicated to all employees and contractors and made accessible in plain language to all operational staff involved in skip hire in Dalston and surrounding areas.

We provide regular training to our team on recognising signs of exploitation and on reporting procedures. Managers are trained to escalate concerns promptly and to treat disclosures with sensitivity and confidentiality. We ensure that workers can raise concerns without fear of reprisal, and that remedial support is available where necessary.

Supplier selection for skip-hire Dalston contracts includes contractual obligations to comply with modern slavery legislation. We include clauses in our supplier agreements that require compliance and cooperation with audits and investigations, and we make clear that non-compliance is grounds for contract termination.

Supplier Audits, Reporting Channels and Continuous Review

We conduct regular supplier audits and risk assessments to evaluate labour practices across our supply chain. These audits cover recruitment, wage practices, working hours, and subcontracting arrangements. Key audit activities include:

• On-site visits and documentation checks to verify employment records and conditions
• Review of recruitment and vetting processes used by transport and labour suppliers
• Interviews and anonymous feedback mechanisms where feasible

To support reporting and transparency, we maintain multiple reporting channels. Employees and third parties can report concerns through an internal hotline, an anonymous submission process, or directly to a nominated compliance officer. All reports are logged, assessed, and investigated promptly. Strong confidentiality protections are applied to whistleblowers, and we do not tolerate retaliation against anyone raising genuine concerns.

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement on an annual basis to measure effectiveness and update controls as necessary. The annual review process involves analysis of audit findings, incident records, supplier performance, and feedback from staff training. Where risks or breaches are identified, we commit to corrective action plans and follow up to ensure improvements are implemented.

Skip-hire Dalston remains committed to continual improvement and to working collaboratively with suppliers, industry partners and enforcement agencies to eradicate modern slavery. This statement reflects our ongoing promise to uphold human rights and ethical labour standards across every aspect of our refuse management and skip hire operations in Dalston and neighbouring communities.
