Streatham Man with Van Modern Slavery Statement

Company vehicle and team about to load, representing Streatham man with van services Streatham Man with Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement outlines our policies, procedures and ongoing commitments. We set out a zero-tolerance policy to exploitation and forced labour and expect the same standards from suppliers and partners engaged by our Streatham man-and-van teams. Our approach applies to all colleagues, contractors and third-party relationships associated with our Streatham removal service activities.

We recognise that the moving and courier sector can be exposed to risks including labour exploitation and deceptive recruitment. Our governance framework assigns responsibility for modern slavery compliance to senior management and embeds anti-slavery considerations into procurement, contract management and daily operations. All staff are trained to identify signs of exploitation and to raise concerns through our reporting channels.

A family of four, including a smiling man, a woman, a young boy, and a girl, are inside a residential space surrounded by packed cardboard boxes and moving supplies, suggesting they are in the process of relocating. The man and boy are positioned in the foreground, with the boy sitting partially inside an open cardboard box that contains packing material, while the man leans over him. The woman is behind them, smiling warmly, with the girl standing beside her, also smiling. To the left, several large cardboard boxes are stacked, some labeled with red arrows indicating the top side, and are wrapped in brown packing tape. The background includes a white wall and a window with semi-transparent curtains, allowing natural light to illuminate the scene. The setting appears to be a bedroom or living room in a house in Streatham, with a focus on household items, furniture, and packing materials typical of a house removal in London. The overall environment highlights the process of packing and preparing for a move, in a professional yet informal home context, emphasizing the family’s engagement during a local residential relocation, promoting the services of Streatham Man with Van.

Policy and Principles

Our zero-tolerance stance is reinforced by formal policy documents that require immediate action if modern slavery is suspected. We have clear contractual expectations for subcontractors and suppliers engaged by Streatham man with van service providers, and we include explicit anti-slavery clauses in new agreements. We also maintain a risk-based due diligence process to assess potential vulnerabilities in our supply chain, including seasonal and temporary labour providers.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct supplier audits and targeted reviews of partners providing vehicles, logistics support and labour. Audits include documentary checks, site visits and interviews where appropriate. Our procurement team uses a tiered audit schedule: higher-risk suppliers receive more frequent scrutiny while lower-risk partners are reviewed periodically. Findings are recorded and corrective action plans are enforced, and repeat non-compliance may lead to contract termination with the Streatham man-with-van network.

The image depicts three young men smiling and posing among stacked cardboard boxes inside a residential room or hallway, likely during a house removal or relocation process in Streatham. The man on the left, with short dark hair, is leaning against a metal ladder and wearing a grey long-sleeve shirt. The man in the center, with light brown hair, is lying on his stomach with his arms crossed over the boxes, wearing a white and grey striped long-sleeve shirt, and giving a thumbs-up gesture towards the camera. The third man on the right, with dark curly hair, is partially obscured by boxes, extending his arm across the stacks, dressed in a similarly striped long-sleeve shirt, and smiling at the camera. The background consists of a simple interior environment with a wooden or neutral-colored wall, and the boxes appear to be used for packing personal belongings or household items, indicating a house move organized by Streatham Man with Van in the local area. The scene is well-lit with natural or indoor lighting, creating an overall professional and organized impression of a typical household removals activity.

To strengthen supplier oversight we maintain a supplier code of conduct that sets minimum standards for pay, working hours, freedom of movement and recruitment practices. We require suppliers to provide evidence of right-to-work checks and to confirm that they do not engage in withholding of identity documents. Where recruitment agencies are used, we ensure they operate transparently and do not charge fees to workers.

We also use risk assessments to prioritise supplier audits, focusing on areas where the potential for hidden labour exploitation is higher, such as manual handling roles, subcontracted drivers and seasonal helpers deployed across Streatham and surrounding boroughs.

A young man and woman sit on a light-colored tile floor against a plain white wall in a home interior, surrounded by open and closed cardboard boxes used for moving. The man, positioned on the left, wears a white t-shirt and blue jeans, holding a tablet in his hands and smiling at the camera. The woman, on the right, wears a light blue sleeveless top and blue jeans, holding a notepad or document, with a neutral expression. Behind them are additional cardboard boxes of various sizes, some unopened and others partially filled, situated along the wall. The scene suggests an ongoing house move or packing process, typical of local house removals in the Streatham or South London area. The overall environment is clean, minimalistic, with natural lighting highlighting the household items and the casual, relaxed atmosphere of the early stages of a home relocation process.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Streatham man and van staff, suppliers and the public can report concerns through our confidential reporting mechanisms. We maintain multiple channels to encourage disclosure: an internal hotline, an email reporting route and designated safeguarding officers. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and, where appropriate, escalated to law enforcement or regulatory authorities. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and offer support to any individuals who may be affected by exploitation.

A man and a woman are outdoors in front of a residential property, engaged in a house removals activity. The man, dressed in a blue shirt and dark trousers, is holding a large cardboard box while smiling at the camera. The woman, wearing a light blue top and beige trousers, is assisting by holding the same box, also smiling. Behind them is an open moving van with multiple stacked cardboard boxes of varying sizes, some with visible packing tape, positioned inside and around the vehicle. The background shows a suburban garden with green grass, bushes, and trees, as well as a partial view of a house with a red tiled roof and trees casting shadows, indicating a sunny day. The scene captures a professional house removal process in a residential street, consistent with services provided by Streatham Man with Van, with attention to the textures of cardboard, fabric, and outdoor environment, subtly linking to house removals in the London area near Streatham.

Training, Remediation and Continuous Improvement

All colleagues in our Streatham van service receive regular training on modern slavery awareness, recognising indicators and using reporting procedures. When cases are identified we provide remediation, including welfare support for victims and collaboration with specialist agencies. Corrective actions for suppliers include mandatory improvement plans, unannounced follow-up audits and, where necessary, termination of business relationships.

To ensure transparency and accountability, we publish regular internal updates and review outcomes from audits and investigations. We also maintain records of due diligence, training completion and remediation steps taken across our Streatham movers operations.

Annually we undertake a formal review of this statement and our anti-slavery measures. The annual review assesses policy effectiveness, audit results and emerging risks, and it informs updates to our training, supplier engagement and reporting mechanisms. This ongoing review process ensures Streatham man and van services remain vigilant and responsive to modern slavery risks.

We are committed to continuous improvement and expect everyone connected with Streatham man-with-van to adhere to these standards. Through robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, a clear zero-tolerance policy and an annual review cycle, we aim to prevent modern slavery and protect vulnerable people within our operations and supply chain.
