Modern Slavery Statement for Roehampton Man And Van

Roehampton Man And Van is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, or exploitation in any part of our operations. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to protecting human rights and ensuring that our services are delivered with integrity. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries, including transport, logistics, and subcontracted services, and we take our duty seriously across all areas of the business.

As a local Roehampton removals and van service, we understand the importance of trust, fairness, and accountability. Our approach is based on preventing abuse before it occurs, identifying risks early, and acting quickly when concerns arise. We expect the same standards from employees, contractors, and suppliers, and we do not accept practices that place workers at risk of coercion, deception, restriction of movement, or unsafe working conditions.

This statement applies to all parts of Roehampton Man And Van, including vehicle operations, administrative support, and any external partners involved in supply or service delivery. We require all personnel to treat workers with dignity and respect, to comply with applicable laws, and to uphold ethical labour standards. Any breach of these principles may result in termination of business relationships or other corrective action.

Our supplier audits form a key part of our modern slavery controls. Before engaging with a supplier, we assess their labour practices, ownership structure, and compliance history. Where appropriate, we carry out periodic reviews and audit checks to confirm that reasonable safeguards are in place. These audits may include document verification, policy reviews, and confirmation that workers are employed voluntarily, paid fairly, and able to leave employment freely.

We prioritise risk-based oversight, focusing on suppliers and subcontractors operating in sectors or regions where labour exploitation may be more likely. The Roehampton Man and Van procurement process includes expectations around ethical recruitment, fair pay, and transparent working arrangements. Suppliers are required to cooperate with our enquiries and to address any identified weaknesses promptly. Failure to do so may lead to suspension or removal from our approved supplier list.

Internally, we provide staff with guidance on recognising signs of modern slavery, such as unusual restrictions, inconsistent personal details, signs of fear, or evidence that a worker may not be acting independently. Training is proportionate to role and helps ensure that employees involved in hiring, scheduling, and supplier management can identify potential warning signs. We want every member of the team to understand that vigilance is part of responsible business practice.

We also maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in good faith. Any employee, contractor, or supplier who suspects exploitation may report it through internal management routes, and all reports are treated seriously and confidentially. Where needed, concerns are escalated for investigation, and appropriate action is taken without delay. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern honestly.

Reports may relate to suspected forced labour, deceptive recruitment, debt bondage, withheld wages, or any other sign of abuse. We encourage a culture of openness so that issues can be addressed early and effectively. The modern slavery policy of Roehampton Man And Van is supported by management oversight, documented procedures, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

To strengthen our controls, we review high-risk arrangements before entering new partnerships and re-check them when circumstances change. If a supplier cannot demonstrate compliance, we will require corrective action or reconsider the relationship. This approach helps ensure that our operations remain aligned with ethical sourcing principles and with our wider responsibility to protect vulnerable workers.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and relevant to the way we operate. The annual review considers changes in legislation, business structure, supplier risk, and the effectiveness of our safeguards. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures and strengthen our controls accordingly.

We view the prevention of modern slavery as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time exercise. The Roehampton Man And Van modern slavery statement demonstrates our commitment to ethical conduct, lawful practice, and respect for human rights. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, supporting safe reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to ensure that our services are delivered responsibly and without exploitation.

Roehampton Man And Van will continue to monitor risks, improve awareness, and act decisively where concerns are identified. Our promise is simple: we will do our part to help eliminate modern slavery from our business and supply chains, and we expect all partners to share that commitment.
