Modern Slavery Statement — West Hampstead Man with Van

West Hampstead Man with Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out our approach and the steps we take to ensure that the people who work for, with and supply our firm are treated with dignity and fairness. As a local removals provider and man with a van West Hampstead specialist, we recognise our responsibility to uphold ethical standards across every job and relationship.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, servitude, human trafficking or exploitation. Our staff, contractors and partners are required to comply with this position, and breaches will trigger immediate investigation and proportionate action. The West Hampstead man and van team is trained to recognise the signs of modern slavery on-site and during collection or delivery, and to act when concerns arise.

Our policy applies to direct employees and to the network of subcontractors used when extra capacity is needed, including third-party drivers and ancillary service providers. We carry out due diligence before onboarding suppliers and expect them to meet the same high standards. Any supplier found to be non-compliant with our anti-slavery expectations may face contract termination and remedial requirements.

Key Measures: Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We maintain a structured supplier audit programme tailored for removal and logistics partners. Audits include documented checks of employment practices, right-to-work verification, evidence of fair wage policies and safe working conditions. As part of this approach, the West Hampstead removals team deploys both scheduled and spot audits to verify ongoing compliance.

Our supplier assessment process consists of pre-engagement questionnaires, verification of identity and financial stability, and periodic on-site reviews where practical. Where risks are identified, we impose corrective action plans and follow up with measured timelines. We also review recruitment agents and temporary labour suppliers to reduce the risk of exploitative recruitment fees or coercion.

To reinforce compliance we incorporate anti-slavery clauses into contracts and require suppliers to maintain records demonstrating adherence. We support suppliers through training materials and expectations summaries so that a man with a van in West Hampstead supply chain understands obligations and consequences clearly.

Reporting Channels, Remediation and Annual Review

We provide safe and confidential reporting channels for staff and third parties to raise concerns. Reports can be made internally through managers, anonymously via secure channels, or escalated to senior leadership for immediate review. All reports are treated seriously: we commit to timely investigation, protection for whistleblowers, and appropriate remediation where violations are confirmed.

In instances where modern slavery is identified, our response includes cessation of the offending practice, support for affected individuals, cooperation with authorities and corrective measures to prevent recurrence. We emphasise restorative outcomes and compliance-based penalties for suppliers who fail to meet standards. The man and van West Hampstead ethos is to remedy harm and prevent exploitation.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management to ensure continuous improvement. Our annual review assesses incident reports, audit findings, supplier performance and emerging risks. We update policies, enhance training and refine audit criteria as needed. By publishing this statement, we reaffirm our commitment to eliminating modern slavery from our operations, supply chain and the local removals community.
