Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Shoreditch

Man And Van Shoreditch is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our service. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by our team to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible Shoreditch removals company, we recognize that vigilance is essential in safeguarding the dignity of workers, contractors, and partners.

Our approach is based on a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or exploitation. This commitment applies to all employees, subcontractors, and suppliers associated with Man and Van in Shoreditch. We expect everyone representing our business to uphold lawful employment practices, fair wages, safe working conditions, and respectful treatment. Any breach of these standards is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate termination of the relationship.

We also ensure that our internal hiring practices are transparent and lawful. Shoreditch man and van operations rely on trustworthy people, so we verify the right to work, maintain clear employment records, and communicate responsibilities in a way that is easy to understand. We do not tolerate debt bondage, withheld identification documents, or coercive recruitment methods. These controls help us reduce risks at the start of the supply chain and reinforce a culture of accountability.

Our suppliers are assessed through regular supplier audits, which help us monitor compliance with labour standards and ethical business conduct. When selecting partners, Man And Van Shoreditch reviews employment policies, subcontracting arrangements, and workforce welfare measures. Where appropriate, we request supporting evidence and carry out follow-up checks to confirm that standards remain consistent. Any supplier unable to meet our requirements is asked to improve immediately or may be removed from our approved network.

Audit activity is not limited to paperwork. We take a practical, risk-based approach to reviewing service partners involved in transportation, storage, packing materials, and associated support services. Modern slavery risks can appear in any sector, so our reviews focus on indicators such as excessive overtime, hidden recruitment fees, restricted movement, or unexplained third-party labour. By maintaining oversight, Shoreditch Man and Van reduces the chance of unethical practices entering our operations.

We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in good faith. Employees and workers are encouraged to report any suspected abuse, unsafe practice, or signs of exploitation without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through line management, designated senior personnel, or internal compliance routes. All concerns are handled confidentially, investigated promptly, and recorded in line with our safeguarding procedures.

The effectiveness of our response depends on awareness. For that reason, Man And Van Shoreditch promotes regular internal communication on ethical labour standards and responsible conduct. Team members are reminded to stay alert to warning signs such as unusual control over workers, signs of intimidation, or inconsistent labour arrangements. Where issues are identified, we act quickly with corrective measures, additional checks, or escalation to the appropriate authority where required.

In supporting this policy, we require managers and supervisors to lead by example and apply our standards consistently. This includes understanding procurement risks, challenging irregular documentation, and ensuring that suppliers know what is expected of them. Our aim is not only compliance, but also the promotion of a work environment that reflects respect, transparency, and ethical responsibility. These principles are central to the reputation of Shoreditch van services and to the trust placed in us by clients and partners.

This statement will be subject to an annual review to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current law and business practice. Each review considers changes in legislation, operational risks, supplier performance, and any incidents reported during the year. Where improvements are needed, Man And Van Shoreditch updates its procedures and training accordingly. Through ongoing review, we continue strengthening our commitment to preventing modern slavery in all areas of our work.
