Modern Slavery Statement for Selfstorage Belsizepark

Selfstorage Belsizepark is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and controls we apply to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including facilities, logistics, maintenance, security, and cleaning services, and we take our responsibility seriously.

Our zero-tolerance policy is the foundation of our approach. We do not accept any form of slavery, servitude, bonded labour, child labour, or deceptive recruitment practices. Every person working for or with Selfstorage Belsizepark is expected to uphold these standards, and any breach may result in immediate corrective action, suspension of a contract, or termination of the relationship. We expect all business partners to operate with the same commitment.

We carry out risk-based checks across our business to identify areas where modern slavery risks may arise. This includes reviewing the nature of services provided, the location of work, labour sourcing methods, and the use of subcontractors. At Selfstorage Belsizepark, we aim to maintain transparent working practices and to ensure that everyone engaged in our operations is treated fairly and lawfully.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our prevention framework. Before onboarding a supplier, we assess their policies, labour standards, and compliance controls. For higher-risk suppliers, we may request additional evidence such as worker welfare procedures, right-to-work checks, and records demonstrating ethical recruitment. These supplier audits help us verify that our partners share our expectations and support our ongoing commitment to responsible procurement.

Audits are not limited to the beginning of the relationship. We also review existing suppliers through periodic monitoring, document checks, and, where appropriate, on-site assessments. If concerns are identified, we work with the supplier to implement corrective measures and set clear deadlines for improvement. Where a supplier fails to meet our requirements, we reserve the right to end the arrangement. This approach helps Selfstorage Belsizepark reduce risk and strengthen ethical standards across the supply chain.

Training and awareness are equally important. Relevant colleagues are encouraged to understand the warning signs of exploitation, including unusual deductions from pay, restricted movement, intimidation, or inconsistent identity documents. Through internal guidance and proportionate training, we ensure that modern slavery risks remain visible and that staff know how to respond appropriately. This supports a culture in which selfstorage Belsizepark operations remain vigilant and responsible.

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Any worker, supplier, or stakeholder who suspects exploitation may report it through our internal management channels, and concerns will be treated seriously and confidentially. Reports are reviewed without delay, and where necessary we will escalate matters to appropriate authorities or specialist support services. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.

Safeguarding those at risk is central to our values. If an allegation or suspicion arises, we act swiftly to preserve evidence, assess immediate welfare concerns, and determine the next steps. Our response may include supplier suspension, enhanced monitoring, or formal investigation. Selfstorage Belsizepark is committed to cooperating with lawful enquiries and to taking all reasonable steps to prevent harm. We believe that proactive action is essential to maintaining trust and compliance.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with our business activities and legal obligations. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, changes in the supply chain, and any emerging best practice. Where improvements are identified, we update our controls, strengthen oversight, and refine our procedures. Through annual review and continuous improvement, Selfstorage Belsizepark reaffirms its commitment to operating ethically and helping eliminate modern slavery wherever it may occur.
