Modern Slavery Statement for Self Storage Tufnell Park
This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the approach taken by Self Storage Tufnell Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery does not take place within our organisation or in any part of our supply chain.
Our Business and Supply Chain
Self Storage Tufnell Park operates storage facilities that provide secure units and related services to individual and business customers. Our supply chain includes providers of construction and maintenance services, security and cleaning services, equipment and materials, technology systems, and professional services. We recognise that some sectors and locations in global supply chains may carry higher risks of labour exploitation, and we are committed to identifying and addressing those risks.
Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking, child labour, and any form of exploitation that deprives individuals of their freedom or fundamental rights. This policy applies to all staff, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers who work with or on behalf of Self Storage Tufnell Park.
Our zero-tolerance approach is reflected in our internal policies, contracts, and expectations of business conduct. We will not knowingly work with any organisation that fails to uphold the same standards and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where there is evidence of non-compliance with our principles.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery and to uphold high standards of labour practices, health and safety, and human rights. When engaging new suppliers, we conduct proportionate due diligence to assess their policies, practices, and track record in relation to modern slavery and ethical employment.
We are developing a structured programme of supplier monitoring, which may include questionnaires, requests for supporting documentation, and periodic audits. These audits are intended to assess compliance with our standards, identify potential risks, and drive continuous improvement. Where risks are identified, we will work collaboratively with suppliers to address issues through corrective action plans, time-bound improvements, and follow-up reviews. Persistent or serious non-compliance may result in the cessation of the commercial relationship.
Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels
We recognise the importance of equipping our staff with the knowledge and confidence to identify and respond to potential signs of modern slavery. We provide training and guidance to relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, facilities management, and supplier engagement, so they understand the indicators of exploitation and the steps to take if concerns arise.
We encourage a culture of openness and ensure that all workers can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Any member of staff, contractor, or supplier who has concerns about possible modern slavery within our operations or supply chain is urged to report these concerns to their line manager or a senior manager. Concerns will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively, with appropriate remedial action taken where necessary.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Self Storage Tufnell Park is committed to continuous improvement in our approach to preventing modern slavery. Each year, we will review this statement and our associated policies, procedures, and risk assessments to reflect changes in legislation, industry best practice, and the evolving nature of modern slavery risks.
The annual review will consider feedback from staff, supplier monitoring outcomes, and any reported incidents or concerns. We will use these insights to strengthen our controls, refine our training, and enhance our supplier engagement processes. Our aim is to build resilience against modern slavery throughout our operations and to promote respect for human rights in all aspects of our business.
This statement has been approved on behalf of Self Storage Tufnell Park and represents our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.
