Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Roehampton

Man And Van Roehampton is committed to conducting business in an ethical, lawful, and transparent manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by our moving service to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and throughout our supply chains. We recognise that forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, and exploitative working practices have no place in a responsible business, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse or coercion.

As a Roehampton man with van provider, we work with employees, contractors, and suppliers who support everyday removals, deliveries, and logistics activities. Although our business is local in scale, we understand that risk can exist in any sector where labour, transport, warehousing, or subcontracted services are involved. Therefore, we apply proportionate controls to reduce risk and promote fair treatment across every stage of our work. Ethical conduct is treated as a core business requirement, not an optional extra.

We expect everyone associated with Man and Van Roehampton to uphold these standards. This includes confirming that workers are engaged voluntarily, are of lawful working age, receive appropriate pay, and are not subjected to intimidation, restriction of movement, or withheld wages. Our approach is reviewed in line with changes in legislation, industry risk, and operational needs, ensuring that our commitments remain practical and effective.

To support these principles, we carry out supplier audits and due diligence checks on relevant third parties. This process may include reviewing business registration details, employment practices, subcontracting arrangements, and evidence of compliance with labour standards. Where a supplier is considered higher risk, we may request additional assurances, contractual commitments, or documentary evidence before continuing the relationship. Any concern identified during an audit is investigated promptly, and corrective action is required where appropriate.

Our procurement standards also require suppliers to confirm that they do not use trafficked labour, exploit vulnerable people, or permit unsafe and unlawful working conditions. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we reserve the right to suspend work, end the relationship, or escalate the matter to the relevant authorities. This helps ensure that the Man And Van Roehampton supply chain reflects our ethical expectations and supports responsible trading practices.

We encourage all workers and partners to speak up if they suspect anything unusual. Reporting channels are available for concerns related to suspected modern slavery, unsafe treatment, coercion, or other unethical behaviour. Reports may be made internally through management or through any designated safeguarding route established for the business. All concerns are handled seriously, sensitively, and confidentially where possible, with no tolerance for victimisation against anyone who raises an issue in good faith.

Where a report is received, we assess the information, document the concern, and take appropriate action without delay. This may include reviewing records, speaking with relevant parties, pausing work with a supplier, or referring the matter to specialist support or law enforcement. We believe that open reporting helps protect workers and strengthens trust across the moving and logistics services we provide.

Responsibility for modern slavery prevention is shared across the business. Management oversees risk awareness, supplier checks, and policy implementation, while team members are expected to comply with ethical standards in day-to-day operations. Training and internal communications help reinforce our expectations so that every person working with the company understands the signs of exploitation and knows how to escalate concerns appropriately. The Roehampton man and van service aims to operate with integrity in every transaction.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, relevant, and aligned with our business activities. The review considers any incidents, audit findings, new risks, and any changes in law or best practice. By continuously improving our controls, Man And Van Roehampton reinforces its commitment to ethical labour standards, responsible sourcing, and the ongoing prevention of modern slavery in all forms.
