Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps taken by TM Moving Solutions to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting all aspects of our activities with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
TM Moving Solutions maintains a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We recognise that the removals and logistics sector can be exposed to risks in areas such as agency labour, vehicle and equipment procurement, facilities services, and subcontracted activities. We are committed to identifying, preventing, and addressing any such risks.
No form of exploitation is acceptable within our organisation or among those who work on our behalf. Any employee, contractor, or supplier found to be involved in modern slavery will face appropriate action, which may include termination of employment or commercial relationship and reporting to relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chains
TM Moving Solutions provides domestic and commercial removal and related services. Our activities rely on a range of suppliers and partners, including vehicle providers, packaging material suppliers, storage facilities, maintenance services, recruitment agencies, and subcontracted removal teams. We aim to build long-term relationships with responsible providers who share our values and commitment to ethical conduct.

Policies and Governance
Our approach to modern slavery is supported by our internal policies on ethics, recruitment, equal opportunities, health and safety, and whistleblowing. These policies collectively reinforce that:
We only employ individuals who have the legal right to work and we verify documentation carefully. We do not tolerate any form of abuse, intimidation, or coercion of workers. We respect working time, rest periods, and pay in line with applicable laws and our contractual commitments. We encourage the reporting of concerns without fear of retaliation.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
We are progressively enhancing our supplier due diligence to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains. New suppliers are assessed on their ethical standards, labour practices, and compliance with applicable laws. We communicate our expectations clearly, including adherence to our zero-tolerance stance.

Where we identify higher-risk relationships, we may apply additional checks such as requesting evidence of labour policies, reviewing workforce arrangements, and seeking assurances regarding third-party labour providers. We also reserve the right to conduct supplier audits, either remotely or on site, to assess compliance. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we will work with them to improve or, if necessary, reconsider the relationship.

Training and Awareness
We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among our employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and day-to-day supervision of workers. Training and guidance focus on recognising potential indicators of exploitation, understanding reporting channels, and reinforcing our zero-tolerance position.

Reporting Channels and Protection
All staff, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking. Concerns can be raised directly with management or through our internal reporting routes, which allow for confidential disclosure. Reports made in good faith will be treated seriously and sensitively, and individuals raising concerns will be protected from retaliation.

We will investigate all credible reports promptly and thoroughly. Where appropriate, we will involve external authorities and cooperate fully with any official investigations.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
TM Moving Solutions recognises that combating modern slavery requires continuous vigilance and improvement. We regularly review our risk assessment methods, supplier engagement, and internal processes to strengthen our controls. We monitor developments in legislation, sector guidance, and best practice to enhance our response.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is reviewed annually by our leadership team to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with our values and legal obligations. Updated versions will reflect any significant changes in our business structure, risk profile, or control measures.
By publishing this statement, TM Moving Solutions reaffirms its commitment to uphold human dignity, promote fair treatment, and play its part in eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from the removals sector and wider supply chains.
