Uk Man With a Van Modern Slavery Statement

Uk Man With a Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of its business and supply chain. Our removal and transport services operate on a firm zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or exploitation. This statement explains our approach, the steps we take, and the ongoing actions we will pursue to identify and reduce risks across operations and among suppliers.

Scope and commitment: We acknowledge our responsibility as a trusted UK removal provider. The company, trading as UK Man With a Van, enforces standards requiring that everyone working for us or with us is treated with dignity and respect. Our leadership team requires compliance from employees, contractors and partners, and we promote a culture where exploitation is not tolerated.

Policy framework: Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in employment and procurement practices. All staff and subcontractors receive clear expectations, and the policy requires immediate action if concerns arise. Uk man with a van personnel are trained to spot indicators of exploitation and to escalate concerns through established internal channels.

Supplier due diligence and audits

We assess suppliers and contractors before engagement and through the life of the contract. Risk-based supplier audits are performed to confirm compliance with labour standards, working conditions and legal obligations. Audit activities include document reviews, site visits and interviews where necessary. Suppliers classified as high-risk undergo more frequent and detailed audits, and corrective action plans are required where non-conformances are identified.

Our expectations of supply chain partners are clearly set out in contractual terms: suppliers must comply with applicable labour and human rights laws, provide fair wages and working hours, and permit freedom of association. We require records that demonstrate lawful recruitment practices and prohibit recruitment fees. Uk removal van suppliers are monitored for compliance and improvement over time.

To reinforce these checks we operate a continuous monitoring program that combines desktop reviews with periodic on-site verification. Where audits highlight issues, we implement targeted remediation, support capacity building and, when necessary, will terminate relationships that fail to meet minimum standards.

Reporting channels and remedial action

We provide safe, confidential and varied reporting channels so workers, subcontractors and the public can raise concerns. Reports may be made internally through line managers or anonymous hotlines and are responded to promptly, fairly and without retaliation. Reports trigger an investigation, and if modern slavery is suspected, immediate protective measures are taken to safeguard affected individuals.

How we handle reports: Investigations are carried out by trained staff or external specialists. Remedial actions can include supporting victims, terminating abusive contracts, referring matters to authorities and collaborating with NGOs. We document outcomes and apply lessons learned to policies and training.

Training and employee awareness are fundamental. All operational staff, drivers and management complete regular training on recognising signs of exploitation, safe reporting procedures and their responsibilities under the zero-tolerance approach. Training is updated annually and adapted to reflect new risks and legislative changes.

Continuous improvement and annual review: We review this Modern Slavery Statement and our processes at least once a year. The annual review considers audit findings, incident reports, supplier performance and legislative developments. Outcomes lead to revised policies, updated training, and changes to supplier controls to strengthen prevention and response.

Key elements of our programme include:

• Regular supplier audits and risk assessments;
• Mandatory training for staff and contractors;
• Multiple confidential reporting channels and prompt investigations;
• Clear contractual requirements and enforcement mechanisms.

By maintaining transparency, monitoring progress and holding ourselves and our partners accountable, UK Man With a Van and Uk man with a van services aim to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our operations. This statement is approved by senior management and reflects our ongoing commitment to eradicate exploitation from our business and supply chain.
