Modern Slavery Statement ??? Man with Van Removal Services

Our Commitment

Man with Van Removal Services is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our approach, our policies and the measures we take to ensure that man-and-van removals and related services are delivered ethically and responsibly. We operate a zero-tolerance stance towards forced labour, debt bondage, and any form of exploitation.

We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy that applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers working with our van removal company. The policy is communicated through internal training, contracts and supplier agreements. All staff in our Man with a Van services network are required to acknowledge the policy and participate in regular briefings on identifying and reporting potential risks.

Our approach to risk assessment combines operational oversight with targeted due diligence. We identify higher-risk activities within our man with van removal operations, including seasonal labour, subcontracted driving crews and third-party warehouse support. Where risks are identified we act swiftly to mitigate them and to ensure compliance with labour standards.

Supplier Management and Audits

We require all suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct which includes explicit requirements prohibiting modern slavery. Supplier selection for our removal fleet and logistics partners includes screening for compliance credentials, labour practices and legal employment checks. Contractors without adequate safeguards will not be engaged.

To verify compliance, we carry out regular supplier audits and assessments. Audits include documentation reviews, interviews, and where necessary on-site inspections. Our audit program targets suppliers in higher-risk categories and uses a combination of scheduled and unannounced checks. Findings are recorded and escalated to senior management for corrective action.

Corrective measures may include remediation plans, contractual sanctions or termination of relationships. We also promote continuous improvement through supplier training and by sharing best practices across our man with van provider network.

We maintain multiple reporting channels to enable confidential and secure reporting of concerns. Employees and third parties can raise issues through anonymous reporting lines, internal HR channels and designated compliance officers. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and treated with confidentiality to protect whistleblowers from retaliation.

Our reporting framework outlines clear steps for escalation and investigation. When an allegation of modern slavery is made, a cross-functional team conducts fact-finding, engages legal counsel as necessary and liaises with external authorities where appropriate. We commit to transparent record-keeping and to taking proportionate remedial action when violations are substantiated.

In support of our policies, we require ongoing training for staff in our removal teams and administrative functions. Training covers recognising signs of exploitation, the responsibilities of personnel within our van removal company and the proper use of reporting mechanisms. We emphasise a culture where raising concerns is encouraged and supported.

We continuously review the effectiveness of our measures. An annual review of our modern slavery program evaluates policy compliance, audit outcomes and incident responses. Findings from the review inform updates to our risk assessments, supplier standards and training materials to ensure continuous enhancement of our anti-slavery approach.

Our governance structure assigns oversight of the modern slavery program to senior management and the board of directors, ensuring accountability at the highest level. We publish progress internally and integrate anti-slavery objectives into our broader corporate responsibility goals for the man with van removal sector.

Key elements of our program include:

• Zero-tolerance policy applied across all operations and contracts
• Regular supplier audits and targeted due diligence
• Multiple reporting channels with protection for whistleblowers
• Annual review and continuous improvement of controls

As a responsible man with van removal operator, we recognise our duty to protect human rights and to ensure that our services are free from exploitation. We will continue to strengthen our practices, collaborate with partners and monitor compliance to uphold the highest ethical standards.

We remain committed to reviewing this statement annually and to adjusting our strategies and resources to address evolving risks in the man with van removal and van removal company ecosystems. Strong oversight, active supplier engagement and clear reporting routes are central to our ongoing efforts to eradicate modern slavery from our operations.

Signed on behalf of the company ??? this statement reflects our commitment to ethical labour practices in all facets of our removal services and supply chain management.
