Modern Slavery Statement for Selfstorage Tufnellpark

Selfstorage Tufnellpark is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in full respect of human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same standard from every contractor, supplier, and business partner. Our approach is guided by transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.

As a provider associated with secure storage services, Selfstorage Tufnellpark recognises that modern slavery risks may arise in areas such as cleaning, maintenance, construction, transport, security, and procurement. We therefore apply due diligence across our business relationships to reduce risk and support ethical trading. This Selfstorage Tufnellpark modern slavery policy is embedded into our operational standards and procurement expectations.

We require relevant staff to remain alert to signs of exploitation, including unusual working conditions, restricted freedom of movement, retention of identity documents, or unsafe accommodation arrangements. Any concerns identified by employees, managers, or suppliers are treated seriously and investigated promptly. Where appropriate, we take immediate corrective action, which may include ending a relationship with any supplier found to be acting unlawfully or unethically.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

To support our commitment, Selfstorage Tufnellpark conducts proportionate supplier audits and assessments based on risk. These audits may include reviewing labour practices, checking subcontracting arrangements, examining recruitment methods, and confirming compliance with applicable legislation. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced review, including requests for written assurances and evidence of ethical labour controls. We also expect suppliers to cascade equivalent standards to their own supply chains.

Our procurement processes are designed to prevent engagement with organisations that fail to meet our expectations. During onboarding and periodic review, suppliers may be asked to confirm that they do not use forced labour, child labour, or exploitative practices. If weaknesses are identified, we seek remediation where possible. However, repeated failure, refusal to cooperate, or evidence of serious abuse will lead to decisive action. This reflects the Selfstorage Tufnellpark anti-slavery stance and our wider responsibility to uphold human dignity.

We also encourage open communication with employees and contractors so that potential issues can be identified early. Training and awareness measures help ensure that relevant personnel understand how modern slavery can appear in practice and why vigilance matters. A strong ethical culture is essential to sustaining a trusted Selfstorage Tufnellpark supply chain and protecting vulnerable workers.

Reporting Channels and Internal Responsibility

Any suspected breach of this statement may be reported through internal management channels or through the organisation’s formal reporting process. Reports may be made confidentially, and concerns are handled sensitively and without retaliation. We encourage prompt reporting of concerns relating to recruitment fees, coercion, wage withholding, unsafe living conditions, or other indicators of exploitation. All reports are reviewed by responsible managers and escalated where necessary.

Senior management holds responsibility for overseeing compliance with this statement and ensuring that appropriate controls are in place. The Selfstorage Tufnellpark leadership team monitors risk areas, reviews supplier performance, and supports corrective action where needed. Where allegations are substantiated, we work with relevant parties to address harm, improve controls, and prevent recurrence. This includes reinforcing ethical requirements across our modern slavery safeguards.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Selfstorage Tufnellpark remains fully committed to acting responsibly and maintaining high ethical standards. Our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process form the foundation of our response to modern slavery risks. Through diligence and accountability, we aim to ensure that our business and supply chains operate with integrity, fairness, and respect for every individual.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing abuse and promoting ethical conduct throughout the organisation. By reinforcing expectations for the Selfstorage Tufnellpark network of suppliers and partners, we continue to support lawful, transparent, and humane business practices.
