Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Removalservices

At Man With Van Removalservices, we are committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human dignity across every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the logistics, transport, and removals sectors can present risks, and we therefore maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.

Our Commitment and Responsibilities

Modern slavery has no place in man with van removals services or in any associated activity. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold our standards and act in accordance with applicable labour laws and ethical practices. Our leadership team is responsible for ensuring that anti-slavery controls are embedded into recruitment, onboarding, procurement, and day-to-day management. We also promote awareness so that workers understand their rights and know how to raise concerns safely.

To support our removal services modern slavery approach, we assess areas of risk where vulnerable workers may be present, including agency labour, subcontracted transport, and third-party suppliers of equipment or services. We seek to avoid relationships with organisations that cannot demonstrate responsible employment practices. Where necessary, we require corrective action plans and may suspend or end arrangements if concerns are not resolved.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our controls. Before engaging a supplier, we review relevant information relating to ownership, labour standards, worker accommodation, and recruitment methods. We also monitor ongoing performance through supplier audits, which may include document checks, policy reviews, and risk-based assessments of working conditions. These audits help us identify signs of coercion, withheld identity documents, excessive fees, or unlawful wage practices.

Our audits are proportionate to the level of risk. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to more frequent reviews, while lower-risk partners are still expected to provide clear evidence of lawful and ethical conduct. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we will investigate promptly and work with them to improve compliance. Where improvement is not possible, we will disengage responsibly.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

All relevant personnel receive guidance on identifying indicators of modern slavery, including restricted movement, fear of authority, unexplained deductions, and signs of control over wages or documents. This training supports a culture of vigilance across Man With Van Removalservices and strengthens our ability to respond early. We encourage workers to speak up without fear of retaliation and remind managers that any concern must be handled seriously and confidentially.

Reporting channels are available for employees, temporary workers, and suppliers to raise concerns about suspected exploitation or unethical conduct. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through designated safeguarding processes. Every report is reviewed promptly, and appropriate action is taken, which may include investigation, escalation, and engagement with external authorities where required. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring that no one suffers detriment for raising a genuine concern.

In addition, we keep records of incidents, audit findings, training completion, and improvement actions so that we can track progress over time. This evidence base helps us strengthen our controls and maintain accountability throughout the business. Our commitment is not limited to compliance; it is part of how we operate as a responsible provider of man and van removal services.

Annual review is a core feature of this statement. Each year, we examine our policies, supplier screening, audit outcomes, and reporting activity to determine whether further measures are needed. The review considers legal developments, sector risks, and lessons learned from any incidents or near misses. We update our approach where necessary to ensure that our safeguards remain effective and relevant.

Man With Van Removalservices will continue to improve its controls, reinforce a zero-tolerance stance, and promote ethical business conduct across our operations and supply chain. We believe that responsible working practices protect people, strengthen trust, and support sustainable growth. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms and to acting with transparency, diligence, and respect.
