Modern Slavery Statement — Ealing Man with Van Commitment
Ealing Man with Van declares a clear and resolute position: we operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking and any form of forced labour within our own operations and across our supply chain. This statement sets out how our man with a van in Ealing services, drivers and contractors are governed by policies designed to detect, prevent and remedy abuses. We are committed to continuous improvement and robust enforcement.
Policy and Scope
Our policy applies to all colleagues, subcontractors and suppliers engaged by the Ealing removal man with van team. We require adherence to labour rights, lawful contracts, and humane working conditions. We emphasise recruitment transparency: no fees or coercion for employment, proper identity checks and documented working hours. We maintain strict standards for employment practices and expect our partners to do the same.
To ensure compliance we conduct proactive supplier audits and assessments. Our supplier audit programme includes:
- Pre-engagement checks — verification of legal status, employment contracts and recruitment practices for any man-and-van providers.
- On-site and remote audits — scheduled and unannounced reviews to validate working conditions and pay practices.
- Corrective action plans — mandatory remediation with clear timelines where concerns are identified.
Training and Awareness
We provide regular training to staff and drivers so they can identify signs of exploitation and understand reporting procedures. Our training covers indicators of forced labour, proper record keeping and how to approach vulnerable workers safely. The Ealing man and van workforce receives materials in accessible language and formats.
Reporting Channels
We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery, available to employees, subcontractors and third parties. Reports can be made anonymously and will be investigated impartially. Each report triggers a defined investigation protocol, offers support to potentially exploited individuals and includes escalation to senior management. We emphasise that retaliation is strictly prohibited.Our procurement process integrates human-rights due diligence. Suppliers are required to complete self-assessment questionnaires and provide evidence of employment practices. Failure to meet minimum standards may lead to suspension or termination of supply. The man with a van Ealing procurement team reviews high-risk contracts more frequently and applies enhanced scrutiny where labour-intensive services are involved.
We document outcomes of supplier audits and report internally on key performance indicators, such as the number of audits completed, findings, corrective actions and resolution times. Our internal compliance team has authority to enforce contractual remedies, seek third-party remediation services and, where necessary, terminate relationships that cannot be rectified. The Ealing man-with-van leadership team receives quarterly updates.
Annual Review and Accountability
This statement and our implementation measures are reviewed at least annually. The review process examines policy effectiveness, audit results, training uptake and reports received through our whistleblowing and reporting channels. Findings are used to refine supplier audits, update training materials and enhance risk assessments across the business.
In conclusion, the Ealing man with a van service remains committed to eradicating modern slavery from its operations and supply chains. We uphold a zero tolerance stance, execute rigorous supplier audits, provide secure reporting mechanisms and undertake an annual review to ensure continued improvement. All staff, contractors and partners share responsibility for protecting human rights and maintaining ethical, transparent practices throughout our man & van activities in Ealing and surrounding areas.
