Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Camden
Man With Van Camden is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with integrity. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to help prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that these abuses can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, and the wider service economy. As a trusted Camden man and van provider, we accept our responsibility to uphold human rights and to act with a zero-tolerance approach to any form of slavery or servitude.
Our business is built on fairness, respect, and lawful working practices. We expect all employees, workers, contractors, and suppliers to share these values. The principles in this statement apply across all activity connected to Man With Van Camden, including vehicle sourcing, equipment supply, administrative support, and any subcontracted services. We aim to ensure that every stage of our service chain reflects ethical standards and that any risk of exploitation is identified and addressed promptly.
We have implemented policies and controls designed to reduce risk and promote accountability. These include clear recruitment standards, right-to-work checks, fair pay practices, and internal procedures that prohibit the use of forced, bonded, or child labour. Our staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs of exploitation, including restricted movement, intimidation, debt bondage, withheld wages, and unusual dependence on a third party. These measures support the responsible operation of our Camden moving service and reinforce our commitment to lawful employment.
Zero-Tolerance Policy
Our zero-tolerance policy is central to this statement. We will not knowingly work with any individual or organisation involved in modern slavery, human trafficking, or any related form of abuse. If a concern arises, it will be investigated immediately and, where necessary, reported to the appropriate authorities. Any supplier or contractor found to be breaching these standards may face suspension or termination of the relationship. This position applies equally to all levels of our operations, from direct hires to external service partners.
We also expect our commercial relationships to reflect the same ethical approach. Suppliers are asked to confirm that they operate in compliance with relevant labour laws and maintain safeguards to prevent exploitation. Our procurement process considers not only price and quality, but also labour practices, transparency, and the risk profile of each supplier. In this way, Man With Van Camden seeks to ensure that its reputation as a responsible Camden removals provider is supported by practical and measurable action.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Supplier audits are an important part of our risk management process. Where appropriate, we review supplier declarations, employment practices, subcontracting arrangements, and compliance records. Audits may include document checks, self-assessments, and periodic reassessments based on the nature of the service provided. High-risk areas receive closer scrutiny, particularly where labour is sourced through multiple layers of contractors. Any concerns identified during an audit are escalated, and corrective action is requested within a defined timeframe.
We also maintain ongoing due diligence when onboarding new suppliers. This includes assessing ownership structures, labour policies, and the presence of any indicators associated with exploitation. Our aim is to build supply relationships with organisations that demonstrate ethical business practice, openness, and respect for workers??? rights. This approach helps reduce exposure to modern slavery risks across the wider Camden van service network.
Reporting channels are available to ensure concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees and contractors may report suspected issues through internal management routes, and concerns may also be escalated through formal incident procedures. We encourage early reporting of any matter that appears unusual, unfair, or exploitative. All reports are handled discreetly, investigated carefully, and treated seriously. Protecting whistleblowers is essential to maintaining trust and encouraging accountability.
Training and awareness are reviewed regularly so that our team remains alert to the signs of abuse. We believe that informed workers are better equipped to detect and prevent risks. This commitment extends to those managing bookings, handling logistics, or coordinating service delivery. By embedding awareness into everyday practice, Man With Van Camden strengthens its ability to contribute to a safe and lawful working environment.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal expectations and business needs. During the review, we assess policy performance, supplier risk, reported concerns, and any changes in regulation or operational structure. Where improvements are identified, we update procedures and strengthen controls. Annual review helps us maintain momentum and demonstrate continuous improvement in combating modern slavery.
Man With Van Camden remains firmly committed to ethical conduct, responsible sourcing, and the protection of human rights. We recognise that preventing modern slavery requires vigilance, cooperation, and ongoing improvement. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, we will continue to take practical steps to ensure that our operations and supply chain remain free from exploitation.
