Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Earls Court

Man And Van Earls Court is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that any service business, including a man and van Earls Court provider, may face risks through subcontractors, labour arrangements, vehicle support services and purchased goods. For that reason, we apply a clear zero-tolerance policy to all forms of slavery and exploitation.

Our Commitment and Governance

The leadership of Man And Van Earls Court has responsibility for ensuring that anti-slavery principles are embedded across the business. Our approach is based on prevention, detection and response. We expect all employees, workers, contractors and suppliers to act ethically and to comply with applicable labour laws. Any breach of this commitment is treated seriously and may lead to termination of contracts or other disciplinary action. In practice, this means that our Earls Court removals and transport operations are managed with attention to labour standards, safe working conditions and lawful employment practices.

We carry out risk assessments to identify areas where modern slavery could occur, especially in outsourced services and parts of the supply chain. When engaging a supplier or subcontractor, we review their labour practices, ownership structure and use of workers. Our due diligence process is designed to support responsible procurement and to ensure that the businesses supporting Man And Van Earls Court meet our ethical expectations.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are a key part of our anti-slavery controls. Depending on the nature of the relationship, audits may include document checks, worker welfare assessments, contract reviews and confirmation of legal right-to-work arrangements. We reserve the right to request evidence of compliance from van service partners, cleaning providers, maintenance contractors and any third-party labour source. Where issues are identified, we require corrective action within a reasonable timeframe and monitor progress closely. If remediation is not possible, we will end the relationship.

Our procurement practices also seek to reduce vulnerability to exploitation by using clear contracts, transparent pricing and realistic timeframes. We avoid arrangements that could encourage unsafe workloads or hidden labour risks. In this way, the Man And Van Earls Court modern slavery statement is not merely a policy document but a practical framework for day-to-day decision-making.

Training and Awareness

We provide awareness guidance to staff so they can recognise indicators of forced labour, debt bondage, withholding of pay, movement restrictions and intimidation. Training helps our team understand how to act if something does not seem right. By strengthening awareness, Man and Van Earls Court improves the likelihood that concerns are identified early and handled properly.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We encourage anyone connected with our business to report concerns about suspected modern slavery, poor labour treatment or unethical supplier behaviour. Concerns may be raised through internal management channels, and all reports are handled confidentially and sensitively. No person will suffer retaliation for making a good-faith report. This protection applies to workers, contractors and supplier personnel. Where necessary, concerns are escalated for investigation and appropriate action, which may include suspension of work, further audit activity or referral to external authorities.

The reporting process is intended to be practical and accessible. We want any member of the Earls Court man and van team to feel confident that speaking up is the right thing to do. Our commitment to whistleblowing protections reinforces our wider culture of transparency and accountability.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains effective, current and aligned with legal requirements and business practices. During the review, we assess supplier performance, audit findings, reported concerns and any changes in operational risk. This process allows us to refine controls, improve awareness and strengthen safeguards across the supply chain.

Man And Van Earls Court will continue to uphold a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and to promote ethical conduct at every level of the business. By maintaining supplier audits, clear reporting channels and annual review, we aim to support a responsible, lawful and respectful service environment. Our expectation is simple: every worker should be treated with dignity, and every business relationship should reflect that principle.
