Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Roehampton

Man with Van Roehampton is committed to conducting its business in a responsible and ethical manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. It applies to all employees, workers, contractors, and suppliers involved in the provision of our moving and transportation services.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We have a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, human trafficking, and any other practice that exploits individuals or deprives them of their freedom. Man with Van Roehampton will not knowingly engage with any individual, organisation, or business that is involved in or associated with modern slavery.

All employees and suppliers are required to act with integrity and to uphold the highest standards of human rights. Any suspected breach of this policy will be treated seriously and may lead to disciplinary action, termination of contracts, or referral to relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Man with Van Roehampton provides local and regional man and van services, including residential and commercial moves, delivery of goods, and related logistical support. Our supply chains include providers of vehicles, fuel, equipment, maintenance, storage facilities, uniforms, and other operational services necessary for our business activities.

We recognise that certain sectors and regions carry a higher risk of modern slavery. We therefore strive to understand and manage these risks throughout our supply chains, ensuring that our partners share our commitment to ethical practices and compliance with applicable labour and human rights laws.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers to adhere to the same zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery that we apply to our own operations. Our supplier standards include compliance with all relevant laws regarding employment, working conditions, health and safety, and human rights.

Where appropriate, we conduct risk-based assessments and audits of suppliers. These may include reviewing labour practices, recruitment processes, wage records, working hours, and the use of subcontractors. We reserve the right to request documentation and clarification from suppliers and to carry out site visits where necessary.

If a supplier is found to be in breach of our standards relating to modern slavery, we will seek to engage with them to remedy the situation promptly. If corrective actions are not taken to our satisfaction, we may suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

Man with Van Roehampton encourages all employees, workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking in our operations or supply chains.

Concerns can be raised confidentially through internal reporting channels made available to all staff and, where appropriate, to contractors and suppliers. Reports may be made to line managers, designated senior managers, or through any established whistleblowing mechanism within the business.

We will investigate all reports thoroughly and, where necessary, take immediate corrective action. We will also cooperate fully with relevant authorities in any investigation relating to modern slavery or human trafficking.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to increasing awareness and understanding of modern slavery risks within our organisation. Where appropriate, we provide guidance and training to employees and managers so they can recognise indicators of modern slavery and understand how to report concerns.

We also seek to engage with key suppliers on these topics to promote good practice and a shared commitment to preventing exploitation.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Man with Van Roehampton is committed to continuous improvement in its approach to tackling modern slavery. We regularly review our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships to ensure that our controls remain effective and proportionate to the risks we face.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually by our management team. The review will consider changes in legislation, industry best practice, the nature of our operations and supply chains, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Updates will be implemented as necessary to strengthen our response to modern slavery risks.

By maintaining this clear and robust framework, Man with Van Roehampton aims to help ensure that all individuals connected with our business are treated with dignity and respect, and that our services are delivered free from exploitation.
