Man with Van Movers Modern Slavery Statement
Man with Van Movers is committed to ensuring that slavery and human trafficking do not occur in any part of our operations or supply chains. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach and the practical steps we take across our man with van removal service and moving operations. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically and transparently and to protect the rights of all people who work for, or with, our business.
Our policy applies to every part of the business including drivers, packers, sub-contractors and suppliers we engage. We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy against forced labour, bonded labour, child labour and any form of exploitation. All employees and representatives of this man-with-van moving company are required to adhere to these standards and report concerns immediately.
To ensure compliance we maintain a comprehensive programme of supplier due diligence and supplier audits. Before onboarding new suppliers we assess modern slavery risks; ongoing relationships are subject to periodic reviews and on-site inspections where appropriate. Our supplier code of conduct requires vendors to confirm adherence to labour, health and safety, and anti-exploitation standards; failure to meet those expectations may result in contract termination.
Policies, Training and Risk Management
We publish clear policies and provide training for staff and contractors across the Man with Van Movers network to raise awareness of human rights issues and reporting responsibilities. Employees are taught to identify indicators of modern slavery and encouraged to escalate concerns without fear of reprisal. Management receives targeted training on risk assessment and remedial action to ensure consistent application of the policy.

The boxes are stacked on the floor and on desks, with a small potted plant among them. An open cardboard box in the foreground contains additional packing material. The woman appears to be preparing for a house or office move, with some boxes partially opened and items being organized. The office environment features a white ceiling with recessed lighting and a plain white wall, typical of a professional workspace. In the background, large windows reveal a cityscape scene with high-rise buildings, suggesting an urban setting, potentially in or near [TOWN] or the [POSTCODE] area. A black office chair with wheels is on the floor near the boxes, and a power cord is attached to the chair or nearby. The scene captures a moment of packing or organizing items ready for a move, reflecting professional house removals or relocation services by Man With Van Movers.](/pub/_photos/removals/f1477708632.jpg)
Risk-based supplier audits focus on geographic, sector and service-type risk factors for our man with van movers supply chain. Audits examine recruitment practices, wage records, right-to-work checks, hours and working conditions. We use interviews, documentation reviews and, where necessary, third-party auditors to verify supplier compliance and to recommend improvements or corrective actions when issues are found.
We also operate a set of controls to mitigate risk across the moving lifecycle:
- Pre-engagement checks for new subcontractors
- Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery obligations
- Periodic monitoring and unannounced inspections
Reporting Channels and Remedies
Man-with-Van Movers maintains multiple, confidential reporting channels for workers, suppliers and members of the public to raise concerns. We provide a protected whistleblowing route and escalation pathways within our management structure. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and objectively, and we take proportionate corrective measures where violations are identified.
Available reporting channels include an anonymous internal hotline, an escalation to a designated compliance officer and referral to independent third-party channels where appropriate. All allegations are investigated and documented; we ensure that vulnerable individuals receive appropriate support and remediation, which may include assistance with employment matters and engagement with specialist organisations.
We are committed to continuous improvement. An annual review of our anti-slavery programme is conducted by senior leadership to assess policy effectiveness, audit findings, training uptake and supplier performance. The review informs updates to risk assessments, contractual requirements and operational practices for the following year. This statement will be revisited annually and revised to reflect evolving risks and emerging best practice across the man with van removal service sector.
In summary, Man with Van Movers treats modern slavery as a critical ethical issue. Our zero-tolerance approach, supplier audits, robust reporting channels and annual review cycle work together to prevent exploitation and to promote transparency throughout our operations and the wider supply chain. We will continue to monitor, measure and enhance our efforts to ensure that the dignity and rights of all workers are respected.
