Modern Slavery Statement for Shepherds Bush Man with Van

Shepherds Bush Man with Van affirms a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. This Shepherds Bush removal service is committed to ensuring that forced labour, bonded labour, and any form of exploitation have no place in our business or supply chain. We expect all employees, contractors and partners who work with the Shepherd's Bush man with van operation to uphold these standards. Our pledge is clear: wherever we operate, we will act swiftly and decisively to prevent, detect and remedy any practices inconsistent with human dignity.

We recognise our responsibility as a local Man with Van Shepherds Bush provider to implement robust policies and foster a culture of compliance. All staff receive induction training that includes awareness of modern slavery risks, reporting obligations and how to support vulnerable individuals. The company code of conduct makes explicit that breaches of anti-slavery rules are grounds for disciplinary action, contract termination and referral to law enforcement where appropriate. We are committed to transparency and continual improvement in protecting worker rights across operations.

Our approach to supplier management includes targeted supplier audits and due diligence for partners in logistics, cleaning, maintenance and subcontracted removals. Supplier audits focus on:

• Verification of employment records and right-to-work documentation;
• Assessment of recruitment practices and prohibitions against fee-charging by recruiters;
• On-site checks and interviews to confirm working hours, wages and living conditions.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for anyone who suspects exploitation, whether they are employees, drivers, sub-contractors or members of the public. Reports can be raised anonymously through secure internal procedures and are taken seriously by senior management. All allegations are investigated promptly, with protections in place to prevent retaliation. When necessary, we will cooperate with statutory authorities and specialist support organisations to ensure the welfare of affected individuals.

Contractual Controls, Training and Risk Management

Contracts with suppliers and subcontractors working with Shepherds Bush man-and-van services include explicit anti-slavery clauses requiring compliance with our standards and granting the right to audit. We use a risk-based approach to prioritise high-risk suppliers for deeper reviews. Mandatory training is refreshed annually for frontline staff and managers, and procurement teams receive enhanced due diligence guidance. We promote ethical recruitment practices and require recruitment partners to confirm they do not charge workers fees.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by the Board and senior management to ensure effectiveness and alignment with changing risks. The review addresses audit findings, incident reports, training uptake and improvements to reporting channels. Outcomes lead to concrete action plans, including enhanced supplier monitoring, revised contractual terms and additional staff education. We commit to publishing updates on our progress and to continually strengthening controls across the full lifecycle of services delivered by the Shepherds Bush man with van team.
