Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Wembley
At Man With A Van Wembley, we are committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the practical steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that a Wembley van moving service relies on trusted relationships, and we are determined to ensure those relationships are built on ethical conduct and lawful practice.
Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency staff, and suppliers. We do not accept any form of modern slavery, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or unlawful recruitment practices. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may lead to termination of contracts, reporting to relevant authorities, or other corrective action. We expect every person who works with Man With A Van Wembley to understand their responsibility to help prevent abuse and protect vulnerable individuals.
To support this commitment, we carry out proportionate due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. Supplier audits are an important part of our approach, helping us assess labour standards, recruitment processes, pay practices, and working conditions. Where necessary, we request evidence of compliance, review subcontracting arrangements, and ask suppliers to confirm that they share our ethical expectations. If risks are identified, we work with the supplier to improve standards; where improvements are not made, we will reconsider the relationship.
We also maintain clear reporting channels so concerns can be raised quickly and safely. Team members and workers are encouraged to report any suspicion of exploitation, unsafe labour practices, coercion, or suspicious recruitment activity without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made to managers, supervisors, or designated internal leaders responsible for compliance. All concerns are handled confidentially where possible, investigated promptly, and followed by appropriate action. This process helps ensure that Man With A Van Wembley remains alert to risks and responsive to concerns.
Training and awareness are central to our prevention strategy. Staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs, including restricted movement, withheld wages, intimidation, document retention, and unusual dependency on third parties. Our teams are reminded that even indirect involvement can contribute to harm. By strengthening awareness, the Wembley removal van sector can better identify issues before they escalate. We also expect managers to promote ethical conduct and to reinforce standards during onboarding and regular internal discussions.
Risk assessment is reviewed across our business activities, particularly where labour is outsourced or supplied through intermediaries. We focus on areas where exploitation is more likely to occur, such as manual work, temporary staffing, and overseas recruitment pathways. Our controls are designed to be practical and proportionate, combining checks, record reviews, and supplier engagement. The goal is not only compliance, but also continuous improvement in how Man With A Van Wembley safeguards people from abuse.
We understand that preventing modern slavery requires ongoing attention. For that reason, this statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and business practices. Each annual review considers incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, employee awareness, and any emerging risks within the sector. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures, strengthen controls, and refresh staff guidance to maintain high standards.
Leadership oversight is essential to this process. Senior management is responsible for ensuring that anti-slavery principles remain embedded in decision-making and day-to-day operations. This includes supporting investigations, approving policy updates, and monitoring progress against corrective actions. The commitment of Man With A Van Wembley is not limited to written policy; it is reflected in the way we choose suppliers, train staff, and respond to concerns.
By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, offering safe reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Man With A Van Wembley aims to contribute to a transport and removals sector that respects dignity and human rights. We believe that responsible business practice is essential, and we will continue to strengthen our efforts to prevent modern slavery in all its forms.
