Modern Slavery Statement for Selfstorage Brixton

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles and controls that guide Selfstorage Brixton in preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that every business has a responsibility to act with integrity and to uphold the dignity, rights, and safety of all individuals connected to our services.

Selfstorage Brixton maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. This commitment applies to our employees, contractors, agency workers, suppliers, and any other third parties acting on our behalf. We expect the same standard of conduct from every organisation we work with, and we will not knowingly engage with any partner that fails to meet these expectations.

Our approach is supported by governance, training, and due diligence designed to identify risks early. We assess business relationships based on geography, sector, labour practices, and the nature of services provided. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include suspension of work, additional checks, or termination of the relationship if necessary.

The Selfstorage Brixton modern slavery policy forms part of our wider ethical standards and informs decisions made across procurement, onboarding, and contract management. We seek to work only with suppliers who can demonstrate lawful employment practices, fair recruitment processes, and respect for workers’ rights. Our suppliers are expected to maintain records that support transparency and accountability.

To strengthen oversight, we conduct supplier audits and risk reviews on a periodic basis. These audits may include document checks, labour practice assessments, and confirmation that workers are employed voluntarily and paid appropriately. High-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced review, including more frequent audits and requests for corrective action plans.

Where a supplier does not meet our standards, we require remediation within a defined timeframe. If issues are not resolved satisfactorily, we will reduce exposure, end the relationship, or take other measures consistent with responsible business conduct. This process helps ensure that our self-storage operations remain aligned with legal and ethical obligations.

Training and awareness are central to the effective operation of the Selfstorage Brixton anti-slavery commitment. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising warning signs, including unusual recruitment fees, restricted movement, document retention, and signs of coercion or intimidation. By improving awareness, we help staff identify and escalate concerns sooner.

We also maintain confidential reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery safely and in good faith. Reports are handled seriously, assessed promptly, and managed with discretion. Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern honestly is strictly prohibited, and any such behaviour will be treated as a serious disciplinary matter.

Concerns may be raised internally through established management routes, and all reports are reviewed by appropriate decision-makers. When a credible concern is identified, we may initiate an investigation, engage external specialists if required, and cooperate with relevant authorities where appropriate. Our objective is to protect potential victims and prevent further harm.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can evolve over time, especially within broader supply chains that involve multiple tiers of labour and subcontracting. For this reason, Selfstorage Brixton applies ongoing monitoring and reviews of its procurement practices. We seek to avoid complacency by regularly revisiting risk indicators, supplier performance, and control effectiveness.

Our statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and consistent with legal requirements and best practice. The review considers any incidents reported during the year, changes in legislation, updated risk assessments, and lessons learned from supplier audits. Where improvements are identified, they are recorded and implemented without delay.

Selfstorage Brixton remains committed to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery and supporting fair treatment throughout our business relationships. By combining a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to uphold a responsible Selfstorage Brixton modern slavery statement that reflects our values and our duty to protect human rights.
