Modern Slavery Statement for Movers Man With Van
At Movers Man With Van, we are committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in full compliance with all applicable laws. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices within our operations and supply chain. We believe that every person involved in our business deserves to be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.
Our zero-tolerance policy is central to this commitment. We do not accept any form of slavery, servitude, coercion, or child labour in any part of our business. This applies to our employees, contractors, suppliers, and any third parties acting on our behalf. We expect all associated parties to uphold the same standards and to act in accordance with our ethical expectations at all times.
We recognise that the moving and logistics sector can involve complex labour arrangements and multiple suppliers, which may increase vulnerability to abuse if controls are weak. For that reason, Movers Man With Van uses a risk-based approach to identifying and addressing potential concerns. We review the nature of services provided, the locations involved, and the working conditions of those supporting our operations to help reduce the risk of exploitation.
Supplier due diligence is an important part of our modern slavery prevention programme. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their employment practices, legal compliance, and commitment to ethical labour standards. Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits and request confirmation of policies, workforce checks, and subcontracting controls. If concerns are identified, we require corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made.
We also maintain clear internal expectations through staff awareness and management oversight. Team leaders are encouraged to look for warning signs such as unexplained deductions, restricted movement, withheld documents, or signs that workers may not be free to leave employment. This vigilance helps Movers Man With Van respond early to risks and reinforces our responsibility to operate transparently and ethically.
To support accountability, we provide accessible reporting channels for employees and business partners to raise concerns in good faith. Reports may be made to managers or designated senior personnel, and all concerns are treated seriously and confidentially. Anyone reporting suspected abuse will be protected from retaliation, victimisation, or unfair treatment. We encourage openness so that potential issues can be investigated promptly and appropriately.
If a concern is raised, we investigate it carefully and take action based on the facts. This may include speaking with relevant parties, reviewing records, consulting with suppliers, or escalating the matter to senior management. Where modern slavery indicators are found, we will act decisively, which may include ending a contract, notifying the relevant authorities, or working with partners to put immediate safeguards in place.
Our commitment extends beyond compliance; it is part of how we define responsible service. By embedding anti-slavery principles into procurement, operations, and management practices, Movers Man With Van aims to contribute to a safer and more ethical business environment. We believe that high standards strengthen trust and help ensure that our services are delivered in a lawful and principled way.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and business activities. As part of the annual review, we consider any incidents, audit findings, training needs, and changes in supplier risk. Updated actions are then introduced where necessary to improve our approach and reinforce our zero-tolerance commitment to modern slavery.
