Modern Slavery Statement — Wandsworth Man with Van
Wandsworth Man with Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our business and supply chain. Our zero-tolerance approach means that we will not tolerate any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or exploitation among our employees, contractors, suppliers or partners. This statement sets out the policies, due diligence, monitoring and reporting channels we maintain to identify, assess and mitigate the risk of modern slavery across our moving and removal operations.
Scope and Commitment
This policy applies to everyone working for the Wandsworth man with van service and to our direct suppliers. We require adherence to this statement from all third parties providing labour, transportation, logistics or ancillary services. Our commitment includes mandatory baseline checks on working conditions, lawful pay, and clear contractual terms prohibiting exploitative practices.
Key Principles
We operate on the following principles to uphold human dignity and lawful employment across our Man with Van Wandsworth operations:- Zero-tolerance of slavery and human trafficking.
- Transparency in recruitment and contractual arrangements.
- Proportional due diligence in procurement and supplier management.
We have implemented a risk-based approach to identify and assess potential exposure to modern slavery in the Wandsworth removal service supply chain. Risks are evaluated by service type (for example, temporary labour, vehicle maintenance, or storage providers), geographic origin of services, and evidence of poor labour standards. Where higher risk is identified we apply enhanced checks and require corrective action plans as a condition of continued engagement.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence — We conduct regular supplier audits to verify compliance with our anti-slavery requirements. Audits include document review, verification of payroll and working hours, site visits where feasible, and interviews with workers. Our procurement teams use standardized questionnaires and contractual clauses that require suppliers to maintain adequate records and to allow reasonable inspection. Non-compliance triggers escalation, remediation plans and, where necessary, termination of the supplier relationship.
We also require that all sub-contractors working with the man with van in Wandsworth network carry out their own due diligence and have anti-slavery policies in place. Training and awareness sessions are provided to procurement staff and operational managers so they can identify indicators of exploitation and take appropriate action.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We provide multiple, anonymous reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about potential modern slavery. Reports can be made confidentially through internal reporting mechanisms and by contacting designated senior managers. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and appropriate protective measures are taken to safeguard potential victims. Retaliation against anyone raising concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited.Remediation and Continuous Improvement
When instances or credible allegations of modern slavery are identified, we act quickly to ensure victims are supported and risks are removed. Remediation may include immediate suspension of services, collaboration with legal and social support agencies, and remedial action plans for suppliers. We maintain records of findings and outcomes to inform ongoing risk mitigation across our Wandsworth moving van operations.
Annual Review and Governance — This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management and the board to assess effectiveness and adapt to evolving risks. Actions arising from the review include updates to supplier audit schedules, enhanced training modules, and strengthened contractual controls. The review process ensures that our Man with Van Wandsworth services remain aligned with best practice and legal obligations.
Declaration: By publishing this statement, Wandsworth Man with Van reaffirms its commitment to combating modern slavery and protecting the rights of workers throughout our operations and supply chain. We will continue to monitor performance, strengthen our processes and work collaboratively to eliminate any form of exploitation linked to our services.
