Modern Slavery Statement for Removalvan Man And Van

Removalvan Man And Van is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the measures we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. As a responsible removal and transport service, we recognise that vigilance is essential in every part of our business, from recruitment to subcontracting and procurement.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. All managers, employees, and contractors are expected to act in line with our ethical standards and to challenge any practice that may exploit vulnerable individuals. We do not tolerate coercion, withheld wages, document retention, abusive working conditions, or any arrangement that limits a person???s freedom to leave work. This policy applies equally across our own operations and to the suppliers and partners that support our man and van services.

Risk Assessment and Supplier Audits

We assess risk by considering factors such as geography, labour intensity, worker vulnerability, and the nature of the goods or services being provided. Suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with applicable employment laws and ethical standards. Where risk is higher, we carry out supplier audits, request supporting documentation, and review working practices to ensure compliance. These reviews may include checks on recruitment processes, pay records, working hours, and the treatment of workers. If concerns are identified, we expect immediate corrective action and, where necessary, we will end the relationship.

Our due diligence also extends to subcontractors and temporary labour arrangements. We expect our partners to apply the same ethical principles that guide our own Removalvan Man And Van operations. We communicate these expectations clearly at the outset of any commercial relationship and reinforce them during periodic reviews. By maintaining open scrutiny and consistent standards, we reduce the risk that modern slavery could enter our supply chain unnoticed.

All staff receive proportionate training so they can identify warning signs such as unexplained control over workers, excessive deductions, signs of intimidation, or individuals being moved between sites without clear employment terms. This helps strengthen our overall approach to safeguarding people and maintaining responsible service delivery.

Reporting Concerns and Raising Issues

We encourage anyone connected with our business to report concerns about potential modern slavery without delay. Reports may be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are handled seriously, sensitively, and confidentially. No one will suffer retaliation for raising a genuine concern in good faith. If a report indicates that someone may be at immediate risk, we act promptly to protect that person and to begin an investigation. Our reporting channels are designed to ensure that concerns can be raised safely and that escalation happens quickly when needed.

Where a concern is substantiated, we will work with the relevant party to remediate the issue, improve safeguards, and monitor progress. If remediation is not possible or if serious non-compliance continues, we will suspend or terminate the arrangement. Our aim is not only to respond to incidents, but also to prevent them through better oversight, stronger contracting, and continuous awareness.

This statement is supported by clear internal accountability. Senior leadership reviews our approach, ensures that responsibilities are understood, and checks that controls remain effective. We aim to embed ethical conduct into everyday decision-making so that our removal company operates in a way that protects people and upholds the law.

This statement will be reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and business practices. The review will consider audit findings, reported concerns, training outcomes, and any changes in our operations or supply chain risk profile. Where improvements are needed, we will update our controls and strengthen our prevention measures. Removalvan Man And Van is committed to continuous improvement and to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our business.
