Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Removalcompany

Man And Van Removalcompany is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in full respect of human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that a zero-tolerance approach is essential to protecting people and maintaining trust across every part of our business.

As a moving and logistics business, Man And Van Removalcompany relies on people, services, and materials from a range of suppliers. We understand that risks can exist in transport, labour provision, cleaning, subcontracted work, and other supporting services. For that reason, our slavery and human trafficking policy is embedded into recruitment, procurement, and supplier management processes. We expect all employees, contractors, and partners to uphold the same standards.

Our modern slavery and labour exploitation policy is based on clear prevention, detection, and response measures. We do not tolerate any form of modern slavery, whether directly within our own activities or indirectly through third parties. Any identified breach may result in immediate action, including suspension or termination of the relationship. This commitment applies equally to permanent staff, agency workers, subcontractors, and suppliers at every level.

We carry out supplier audits and due diligence reviews to assess risk before entering into commercial arrangements and during ongoing engagements. These audits may include checks on ownership, labour practices, working conditions, right-to-work procedures, wage compliance, and the use of sub-suppliers. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans and monitor progress closely. In higher-risk cases, we may increase the frequency of reviews or seek independent verification.

Our responsible supply chain approach also includes contractual expectations. Suppliers must confirm that they comply with all applicable employment, health and safety, and human rights laws. They must not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour, and they must ensure that workers are treated fairly and paid appropriately. We make it clear that failure to meet these requirements is a serious matter. This helps protect the integrity of the Man And Van Removalcompany brand and the people connected to it.

Training and awareness are also important parts of our anti-slavery framework. Managers and relevant staff are briefed on warning signs such as restricted movement, unusual recruitment fees, confiscated documents, or signs of coercion. By increasing awareness, we improve our ability to identify potential abuse early and act responsibly. Our aim is to ensure that every part of the Man And Van Removalcompany modern slavery statement remains practical, meaningful, and effective.

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees, workers, and suppliers are encouraged to report suspected wrongdoing through internal management routes or other approved escalation methods. All reports are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. We are committed to protecting individuals who raise concerns in good faith and to taking appropriate remedial action where needed.

Man And Van Removalcompany understands that transparency is essential to preventing exploitation. If a concern relates to a supplier or subcontractor, we will review records, interview relevant parties, and assess whether additional controls are needed. In serious cases, we may suspend work while the matter is examined. Our focus is not only on compliance, but on creating a culture where dignity, fairness, and accountability are expected throughout the business.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it continues to reflect our operations, risk profile, and legal obligations. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, any supplier changes, and updates to best practice. We use this process to strengthen controls, improve training, and refine our due diligence procedures. The annual review is a key part of our commitment to continuous improvement across the Man And Van Removalcompany supply chain.

Through this modern slavery statement, Man And Van Removalcompany reaffirms its zero-tolerance policy and commitment to ethical business conduct. We will continue to assess risks, engage responsibly with suppliers, and act decisively if concerns arise. By maintaining strong safeguards, we aim to help prevent exploitation and support a fairer, safer working environment for everyone connected with our business.
