Streatham Man with Van Modern Slavery Statement

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
