Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Bermondsey

Man With Van Bermondsey is committed to conducting business ethically, lawfully, and with respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, packing support, maintenance, and subcontracted services, and we take our responsibility seriously.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers associated with Man With Van Bermondsey removals and delivery services. We will not knowingly work with any party involved in exploitation, deceptive recruitment, document retention, coercion, or unsafe working conditions. Every business relationship must reflect our standards of fairness, dignity, and legal compliance.

We require all staff to understand the signs of exploitation and to follow clear internal procedures if concerns arise. Training and guidance are provided to help teams identify risks such as unusual control over workers, restricted movement, or inconsistent pay practices. This approach supports a culture in which potential abuse is recognised early and addressed promptly.

Our supplier due diligence process includes supplier audits, risk assessments, and periodic reviews of business conduct. Where appropriate, we request evidence of labour practices, right-to-work checks, and subcontractor controls. For higher-risk categories, such as temporary labour providers or outsourced support services, we may carry out site visits, request written assurances, or re-evaluate the relationship if concerns are identified.

If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we will seek immediate corrective action and may suspend or end the arrangement. Man With Van Bermondsey London expects all partners to maintain transparent records, respect employment law, and avoid any form of hidden exploitation. We reserve the right to review contracts, inspect relevant documentation, and ask for evidence that workers are treated lawfully and fairly.

We also encourage open communication across the business so that risks are not overlooked. Managers are responsible for monitoring working conditions, while procurement and operations teams must ensure that engagements are based on verified standards rather than convenience alone. This helps protect the integrity of our service and our wider supply chain.

Concerns about modern slavery can be raised through internal reporting channels, including direct reports to line managers, senior leadership, or designated safeguarding contacts. Reports may be made confidentially, and all concerns are treated seriously, investigated appropriately, and handled with discretion. Retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern is prohibited.

Where there is evidence of abuse, we will act in line with legal requirements and support any necessary escalation to the relevant authorities. Man With Van Bermondsey services should never contribute to exploitation in any form, and our reporting process is designed to give workers and partners a safe route to speak up. We aim to create an environment where ethical conduct is expected, protected, and reinforced.

Our commitments are overseen by senior management, who review risks, compliance activity, and any incidents raised during the year. This oversight ensures that anti-slavery controls remain active, practical, and proportionate to the nature of our work. We recognise that vigilance is essential, especially where services involve multiple parties or time-sensitive labour arrangements.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm its effectiveness and to identify opportunities for improvement. As part of the annual review, we assess supplier performance, audit outcomes, staff awareness, and any reported concerns. Lessons learned are used to strengthen procedures and reinforce our zero-tolerance stance.

By maintaining clear standards, monitoring our supply chain, and responding decisively to concerns, Man With Van Bermondsey aims to uphold the highest ethical expectations. We are committed to continuous improvement and to ensuring that our operations remain free from modern slavery, exploitation, and abuse.
