Belmont Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

Belmont Skip Hire is committed to preventing modern slavery in all areas of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our stance, sets out our expectations for suppliers and workers, and highlights the steps we take to ensure compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude, child labour or human trafficking and require the same standards across our supply chain.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a clear and unequivocal position: no modern slavery will be tolerated. Our anti-slavery statement and internal controls require all staff and contractors to comply fully with our code of conduct. We communicate expectations in procurement, contracting and operational procedures to ensure that Belmont Skip Hire’s modern slavery policy is understood and enforced by everyone working on our behalf.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audit Programme

We carry out supplier risk assessments and targeted supplier audits as part of our procurement process. Our supplier audit framework includes documentation review, responsible sourcing checks and on-site verification where appropriate. Belmont Skip Hire’s supplier audits focus on labour practices, working hours, wage payments and the right to work. Where deficiencies are identified we require remedial action and follow-up verification until concerns are resolved.

Supply Chain Controls and Monitoring

Our supply chain transparency measures and procurement policy require suppliers to self-certify compliance with the slavery and human trafficking notice. We also reserve the right to conduct spot checks and formal audits. Key elements include:

• Pre-contract risk screening of high-risk suppliers
• Periodic supplier audits and corrective action plans
• Contract clauses that prohibit forced or bonded labour

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Belmont Skip Hire provides clear reporting channels so employees, workers and third parties can raise concerns safely and confidentially. We operate an internal whistleblowing procedure and encourage staff and contractors to speak up without fear of retaliation. Reports of suspected modern slavery or human trafficking are taken seriously, investigated promptly and escalated to senior management as required.

We protect whistleblowers and ensure that every allegation is assessed. Investigations follow a documented process and, where necessary, we will work with external advisors and law enforcement. Our modern slavery reporting channels include anonymous reporting options, and we apply strict confidentiality to protect all parties involved.

Training, Remediation and Continuous Improvement

Training on the modern slavery policy and human rights considerations is provided to procurement, operations and managerial staff. We promote awareness of indicators of exploitation and the steps to take when concerns arise. Where breaches are identified, Belmont Skip Hire implements remediation plans for affected workers, including access to support, recovery and restorative steps where appropriate.

Annual Review and Governance

We review this slavery and human trafficking statement and our anti-slavery measures at least once every year to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to the risk profile of our business and supply chain. The annual review evaluates supplier audit results, incident reports, training completion rates and any remedial actions taken. Findings are reported to senior leadership and used to refine policies, processes and supplier engagement.

Accountability and Continuous Oversight

Belmont Skip Hire’s board and senior management have responsibility for the implementation and oversight of this modern slavery statement. We are committed to continuous improvement, transparent supplier engagement and maintaining a strict zero-tolerance approach across our operations. This anti-slavery statement represents our ongoing pledge to prevent exploitation and uphold the highest standards of labour rights throughout our services and supply chain.
