Stockwell Man with Van: Modern Slavery Statement
Stockwell Man with Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, exploitation or abuse. This statement sets out our approach to compliance, the expectations we place on partners and the steps we take to identify and mitigate risks across our local man and van services and broader removal activities.
We recognise our responsibility as a local removal and relocation provider — whether operating as Stockwell removal service or Stockwell man and van — to adopt robust policies and procedures. Our workforce, contractors and suppliers must adhere to high ethical standards; any breach will trigger immediate action including investigation and contract termination where appropriate.
Our core commitments include:
- Zero-tolerance policy — We will not tolerate forced, bonded or child labour in any part of our business.
- Supplier audits — Regular reviews and audits of key suppliers to ensure compliance with modern slavery standards.
- Reporting channels — Secure mechanisms for staff and third parties to report concerns without fear of retaliation.

The man, wearing a blue work shirt and trousers, is smiling as he hands a medium-sized cardboard box to the woman, who is dressed in a light blue top and white trousers. The boxes range in size and are stacked inside the van, which is situated on a residential driveway or street near a garden with trees and bushes. The scene depicts a house removals process typical of a house move within the [POSTCODE]-based area around Stockwell, with the van's black exterior contrasting with the lighter cardboard containers and the greenery in the background. The lighting suggests natural sunlight, and the environment appears calm and organized, reflecting professional house moving services provided by Stockwell Man with Van.](/pub/_photos/removals/f1235777896.jpg)
We require all suppliers to confirm, through contractual terms and declarations, that they operate in accordance with applicable employment laws and anti-slavery regulations. Our due diligence process for procurement and subcontracting includes risk-based assessments, verification of employment practices, and spot checks. For contractors engaged by our Stockwell moving service and related operations, we use a risk matrix to prioritise audit frequency and depth.
As part of our approach, we maintain clear supplier standards and expect transparency. Where risks are identified, we work with partners to implement corrective actions and monitor improvements. If remediation is not possible or if a supplier refuses to comply, we will terminate the relationship.
Reporting and Whistleblowing
We provide multiple reporting channels to make it easier for employees, contractors and members of the public to raise concerns about suspected slavery or human trafficking in connection with our Stockwell man with van services. These channels include internal reporting lines, anonymous reporting systems and escalation to senior management. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly and confidentially. We prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises concerns in good faith.
Audits, Monitoring and Annual Review
We conduct periodic supplier audits and on-site checks focusing on recruitment practices, wage payments, working hours and the freedom of movement of workers. Our monitoring combines document reviews, interviews and third-party verification where necessary. Audit findings are documented, and corrective action plans are tracked to completion. We also evaluate our service partners within the Stockwell man and van network to ensure ongoing compliance.
Annual review: Each year, senior leadership performs a formal review of our policies, risk assessments and the effectiveness of controls. The review results guide training, resource allocation and any updates to our anti-slavery program. We publish enhancements and embed lessons learned in supplier contracts and staff induction materials to continually strengthen our response to modern slavery risks.
Training and awareness are critical. We provide targeted training to employees and managers on recognising indicators of modern slavery and the correct steps to report and escalate concerns. For frontline staff in removal and transportation roles, we emphasise practical scenarios and local risk factors relevant to the Stockwell area and surrounding operations.
Our zero-tolerance policy is supported by governance structures that assign clear responsibilities for oversight and escalation. Compliance owners are accountable for supplier due diligence, audit follow-up and the maintenance of confidential reporting channels. We aim to foster a culture where ethical conduct is expected and supported at every level.
This statement reflects the efforts of Stockwell Man with Van to prevent modern slavery in our business and supply chain. We will continue to review and strengthen our measures, ensuring our removal, relocation and man and van services uphold the highest ethical standards.
