Modern Slavery Statement — Lambeth Man with Van

We, Lambeth Man with Van, are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our approach as a local Lambeth man with van services provider and removal company. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labor, servitude, or human trafficking in our direct workforce and among our contracted partners, including sub-contractors used in removals and transport.

Our Policy and Principles

Our principles apply across the whole business: drivers, loaders, administrative staff and partnered agencies. We require every partner and supplier to adhere to the same high standards so that every customer booking with a Lambeth man-and-van or Lambeth removal service benefits from an ethical supply chain. We do not tolerate exploitation and we will take robust action where any breach is discovered. Compliance with employment rights, fair pay, humane working hours and safe working conditions is mandatory.

We communicate expectations through contracts, supplier declarations and training for operatives. Key mechanisms include:

• Supplier codes of conduct that mirror our anti-slavery stance.
• Contract clauses allowing audits and termination for non-compliance.
• Mandatory worker verification and right-to-work checks for placements.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We perform risk-based due diligence on suppliers to the Lambeth movers and man with van network. High-risk suppliers receive enhanced scrutiny: on-site visits, documentation review and audits of recruitment practices. Audit findings are documented and action plans are required where weaknesses are identified. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate agreements where corrective action is not undertaken promptly.

Responsible Sourcing and Subcontractor Management

Our procurement process evaluates both ethical and operational risks. We assess agents, subcontracted van drivers and temporary labour providers for recruitment fees, wage practices and third-party payroll arrangements. Where permitted by law, we prohibit charging fees to workers and require transparent, verifiable pay records. Training for procurement and operations staff strengthens their ability to detect signs of exploitation.

We emphasise continuous monitoring: regular supplier performance reviews, random spot-checks and scheduled audits. Where issues are identified we implement proportionate remediation, support impacted workers and, if necessary, remove suppliers that fail to meet our standards.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain secure and accessible reporting channels to enable staff, contractors and third parties to report concerns about modern slavery. Reports may be raised anonymously and will be investigated impartially and confidentially. Our reporting protocol encourages early escalation so that potential abuses can be addressed swiftly and victims protected.

We provide clear guidance to employees on how to raise concerns; training materials include how to recognise indicators of exploitation and the steps the business will take following a report. All reports are logged, risk-assessed and investigated without retaliation. Where criminal activity is suspected, we cooperate with enforcement agencies.

Monitoring, Annual Review and Ongoing Commitment

As part of our accountability framework, we conduct an annual review of our modern slavery risks, policies and effectiveness. This review informs continuous improvement, including updates to our supplier audit schedule and enhanced training for the Lambeth man with van team and partners. We set measurable KPIs related to audit completion rates, corrective action closure and staff training coverage.

We remain resolute in our commitment: to eradicate modern slavery within our operations, to work collaboratively with suppliers across the Lambeth removal service market, and to report transparently on progress. This statement is reviewed at least annually and published as part of our governance and ethical business practices.
