Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Peckham

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Skip Hire Peckham and related trading operations to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our business and supply chain. Our company, known across the borough as Peckham skip hire, has a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced or compulsory labour, child exploitation, debt bondage, or human trafficking. We recognise that robust measures are required to reduce risk and to act swiftly where non-compliance is suspected.

We adopt clear policies and procedures to ensure that every person engaged on our sites, in transport, or within our contracted services is treated fairly and ethically. Our approach is built on prevention, detection and remediation. We provide regular training to staff and contractors so they understand signs of exploitation and know how to use reporting channels. The company’s leadership takes responsibility for enforcing the policy and allocating the necessary resources for monitoring and compliance.

Our zero-tolerance policy is formalised in contractual terms with suppliers and subcontractors. We require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and to permit access for assessment. The policy applies to all variations of our services, whether described as skip-hire in Peckham or Peckham waste removal, and covers recruitment, payment practices, working hours and health and safety standards. Any breach may result in contract termination and referral to appropriate authorities.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct risk-based due diligence across our procurement processes, focusing on higher-risk suppliers and service categories. Our supplier audits combine document review, remote checks and on-site inspections where necessary. Audits evaluate payroll records, working conditions, recruitment agents, and subcontractor arrangements. Where risks are identified, we implement corrective action plans and follow-up audits until satisfactory remediation is achieved. Suppliers who fail to address issues promptly face suspension or de-selection.

Key elements of our auditing and procurement programme include:

• Screening suppliers before engagement and annually thereafter;
• Targeted on-site audits for high-risk operations and multi-tier suppliers;
• Mandatory anti-slavery clauses in contracts and procurement documents.

We also provide guidance and capacity-building support to smaller local suppliers to help them meet expectations. Peckham skip-hire partners receive clear instructions on record-keeping and worker rights, and we encourage collaborative remediation where non-compliance can be rectified without immediate contract termination.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery. Reports may be made anonymously through internal hotlines and designated complaint procedures; every report is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Retaliation against whistleblowers is strictly prohibited under our policy. Investigations lead to remedial actions, disciplinary measures and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement.

Training and awareness building are ongoing. All operational managers and procurement staff complete mandatory e-learning and in-person briefings about identifying exploitation, conducting supplier checks, and escalating concerns. Skip-hire Peckham also works with industry groups to share best practice and keep policies aligned with evolving legal requirements.

This statement is reviewed at least annually by the senior management team and the board to ensure continuing appropriateness and effectiveness. The annual review covers policy performance, audit outcomes, training records, and any incidents or near-misses. Where necessary, the statement and supporting procedures will be revised to strengthen prevention, improve detection and enhance remediation. Skip Hire Peckham remains committed to continuous improvement in eliminating modern slavery across its operations and supply chain.
