Camden Man with Van Modern Slavery Statement

Camden Man with Van operates a local moving and removal service committed to upholding the highest ethical standards. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour, human trafficking and exploitation across our operations and supply chain. As a Camden man and van provider, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and ensure that everyone connected with our Camden moving service is treated with dignity.

Policy and Zero-Tolerance Commitment

Our zero-tolerance policy means that any instance of modern slavery, whether within our direct workforce or amongst the contractors and suppliers engaged by Camden van man, will result in immediate action. We explicitly prohibit forced labour, withholding of wages, deceptive recruitment practices and the retention of passports or identity documents. This policy applies to all employees, temporary staff and subcontractors used in our man-with-van operations.

To ensure transparency and accountability we maintain clear contractual terms with all suppliers and service partners. Our standards require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery obligations and to allow audits and inspections. We require evidence of legal right to work checks and fair pay practices across the chain for those working in removals, driving, loading and associated logistics.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We carry out proportionate due diligence when onboarding suppliers, including checks on labour practices, recruitment agents and subcontractors. Supplier audits are planned based on risk, value and complexity of services provided. Audit steps include document review, site visits where appropriate, and interviews with workers to verify working conditions. Camden Man-with-Van will take corrective actions where non-compliance is identified and reserve the right to terminate relationships where breaches cannot be remedied.

Our supplier management process includes:

• Pre-contract screening and risk assessment
• Periodic audits and spot checks
• Mandatory contractual clauses reflecting our anti-slavery standards

We expect all partners in the Camden man van network to train their staff, maintain accurate payroll and time records, and report any suspicious recruitment or retention practices immediately.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Camden man and van encourages anyone with concerns about modern slavery to report them through confidential internal channels. We operate an internal reporting system that protects whistleblowers from retaliation and ensures reports are investigated promptly. Reports are handled by trained personnel who follow a clear investigation procedure, including immediate protective measures for potential victims and escalation to relevant authorities when necessary. Our approach is victim-centred and prioritises safety.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We undertake an annual review of this statement and our practices to ensure continuing effectiveness. The review assesses audit findings, reported incidents, supplier performance, training uptake and emerging risks within the removals and local logistics sector. Findings inform updates to policies, strengthened due diligence and targeted supplier engagement. Camden van man commits to continuous improvement and will publicly publish updates to reflect progress and lessons learned.

In summary, Camden Man with Van, Camden moving service and all associated man-with-van operations adopt a robust stance against modern slavery. We combine clear policies, regular supplier audits, secured reporting channels and an annual review cycle to detect, prevent and remedy any risks of exploitation. Our commitment is unwavering: we will act decisively to uphold human rights, protect workers and ensure our services remain free from modern slavery and human trafficking.
