Thehyde Removals Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out Thehyde Removals??? commitment to preventing slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. As a removals and logistics business, Thehyde Removals recognises that responsible business practice must extend beyond service delivery and into the way we engage people, source services, and manage risk. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery and expect the same standard from every supplier, contractor, and business partner.

Our approach is grounded in respect for human rights, lawful employment, and fair working conditions. We understand that the removals sector can involve temporary labour, transport services, storage partners, and third-party suppliers, which may create potential vulnerability if not properly managed. For that reason, Thehyde Removals applies due diligence across procurement, onboarding, and ongoing supplier relationships to ensure that modern slavery risks are identified and addressed early.

We are committed to building a culture where ethical conduct is part of everyday practice. This includes staff awareness, clear accountability, and careful oversight of the businesses we work with. In the event that any concern is identified, we will act promptly, investigate appropriately, and take corrective action where necessary. Our modern slavery statement reflects an ongoing promise to protect people and uphold the values of dignity, fairness, and compliance.

Supplier management is a key part of our anti-slavery framework. Thehyde Removals conducts supplier audits and risk-based reviews to assess labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, wage compliance, and the use of temporary workers. Where appropriate, we request documentation, review policies, and evaluate whether suppliers have their own controls in place to prevent exploitation. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced monitoring and more frequent checks.

We expect suppliers to demonstrate lawful employment practices, accurate record keeping, and safe working conditions. Any supplier unable or unwilling to meet these standards may be required to implement improvements immediately, or the relationship may be reconsidered. By applying a consistent audit process, Thehyde Removals strengthens transparency within its supply chain and helps ensure that our removals operations are supported only by responsible partners.

Our employees also play an important role in identifying risks. Training and internal guidance help staff understand warning signs such as restricted freedom of movement, unusual control over wages or documents, and evidence of coercion. This awareness supports early intervention and reinforces our wider commitment to ethical trading. Thehyde Removals believes that strong governance and vigilant oversight are essential to preventing abuse.

We provide clear reporting channels so that employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Concerns may include suspected exploitation, unsafe labour practices, or any conduct that appears inconsistent with this statement. All reports are treated seriously, assessed promptly, and escalated through the appropriate internal process for investigation and response.

Our reporting framework is designed to encourage openness and protect those who come forward in good faith. We do not tolerate victimisation or disadvantage for anyone who raises a concern or assists with an inquiry. If a breach of our standards is confirmed, Thehyde Removals will take proportionate action, which may include corrective measures, termination of a supplier relationship, or referral to the relevant authorities where required. This commitment reinforces the integrity of our modern slavery controls.

We recognise that the fight against modern slavery is continuous and requires regular review. For that reason, this statement is subject to an annual review to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and business developments. Each review considers supplier audit outcomes, staff training, reported concerns, and any emerging risks across our operations and supply chain.

Following the review, Thehyde Removals will update its controls where necessary and set new priorities for improvement. This may include strengthening supplier checks, refreshing internal awareness measures, or revising escalation procedures. We will continue to refine our approach so that our modern slavery policy remains practical, credible, and responsive to changing risks.

Thehyde Removals is committed to acting responsibly, trading ethically, and supporting a supply chain that respects human rights. Through robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, a zero-tolerance policy, and an annual review cycle, we aim to reduce the risk of exploitation and promote lawful, fair, and transparent business practice in every part of our removals service.
