Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Clapham

Man With Van Clapham is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in any sector and supply chain, and we take active steps to identify, prevent, and address risks within our operations.

As a local removals and transport service, Man With Van Clapham depends on a network of suppliers, contractors, and service partners. We expect every individual and organisation associated with our business to uphold the same ethical standards. Our commitment is underpinned by transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement, ensuring that our operations remain consistent with applicable laws and human rights principles.

Our approach begins with risk awareness. We assess where vulnerabilities may arise, including labour hiring, subcontracted logistics, temporary staffing, vehicle maintenance, and procurement of goods or services. Although our business is relatively compact, we do not assume that smaller scale reduces risk. Instead, our Clapham removals company applies proportionate but meaningful controls designed to protect workers and prevent abuse.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery in all forms. Any suspected breach by an employee, contractor, or supplier is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Where concerns are substantiated, we may suspend or terminate relationships, report issues to relevant authorities, and take corrective action to prevent recurrence. No commercial objective will ever override our duty to safeguard people.

To strengthen our standards, we conduct supplier audits and due diligence reviews. These checks may include assessing labour practices, verifying business legitimacy, reviewing workforce arrangements, and monitoring compliance with ethical expectations. Suppliers to Man With Van Clapham are expected to cooperate fully with audits and provide accurate information when requested. Persistent non-compliance may lead to removal from our approved supplier base.

We also recognise the importance of education. Staff members are made aware of warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, debt bondage, intimidation, or unexplained dependence on third parties. By building awareness across our team, the Man With Van Clapham modern slavery statement becomes more than a document; it becomes a practical framework for action.

Reporting, Oversight, and Review

Anyone who suspects modern slavery-related activity is encouraged to raise concerns through our internal reporting channels. Reports may be made confidentially and are handled with discretion. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith. This openness helps ensure that issues are surfaced early and addressed responsibly.

Oversight of this policy rests with management, who monitor supplier performance, evaluate emerging risks, and ensure that appropriate controls remain in place. We seek to work only with partners who share our values and our commitment to ethical labour practices. If signs of exploitation are identified, the response will be immediate, documented, and proportionate to the seriousness of the issue.

Annual Commitment to Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current law and best practice. The review considers supplier audit findings, incident reports, staff awareness, and any changes in our business activities or risk profile. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures and strengthen controls accordingly.

Man With Van Clapham is dedicated to protecting vulnerable people and promoting responsible business conduct. Through a clear zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, reliable reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to play our part in eliminating modern slavery from our operations and supply chains. We will continue to uphold these standards with seriousness, vigilance, and integrity.
