Modern Slavery Statement — Harringay Man with Van

Harringay Man with Van is committed to a clear and unequivocal stance: we operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in any form. This modern slavery statement sets out how our Harringay man-and-van teams, drivers and support staff work to prevent exploitation across our operations and supply chain. We recognise our responsibility as a local removal and transport provider to protect workers and uphold human rights.

Our duty extends beyond the core crew to subcontractors and partners: whether engaging a man-with-van in Harringay or procuring van services elsewhere, we demand the same ethical standards. Every employment and engagement decision is governed by our policies and checks, and we ensure managers and team leads are trained to spot and respond to potential abuses. We emphasise respect, dignity and lawful employment practices.

We maintain policies that comply with relevant legislation and good practice for a Harringay removal service and related van-based operations. Staff receive induction materials and ongoing training on recognising signs of forced labour, modern slavery risks and reporting procedures. Where risk indicators are identified, we take immediate action: investigation, suspension of relationships where necessary and remedial measures to protect any affected individuals.

Supplier Expectations and Audit Programme

All suppliers to our Harringay van services are required to acknowledge and adhere to our procurement code. We include specific contractual clauses that reflect our zero-tolerance position and require transparency in labour practices. Our procurement team conducts risk-based due diligence on new and existing suppliers, emphasising high-risk sectors and routes where man with a van contractors are engaged through third parties.

We operate a programme of supplier audits and assessments to verify compliance. Audits combine document reviews, site visits where appropriate, and interviews with workers. Our approach to supplier audits is proportionate and focused on continuous improvement: we work collaboratively to remediate non-compliance and escalate where necessary.

Key elements of our supplier audit and control framework include:

• Risk assessment: mapping suppliers and services to identify potential exposure to modern slavery.
• Audits and spot checks: scheduled and unscheduled reviews of labour practices and working conditions.
• Corrective action plans: clear timelines and requirements to address findings, up to termination for serious breaches.

Reporting Channels, Monitoring and Annual Review

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about exploitation, including anonymous options. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly by trained staff. All allegations are handled with confidentiality and care, ensuring that whistleblowers and potential victims are protected from retaliation while cases are reviewed.

Our monitoring and investigative processes ensure effective remediation where abuse is found. This may include reinstatement of rights, compensation where appropriate, and ending contracts with suppliers who fail to comply. We maintain records of investigations and outcomes, and use those insights to refine training, procurement practice and operational controls. The Harringay man with van operation is committed to learning and adapting.

This statement is reviewed annually by senior management and the board to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness. The annual review examines policy implementation, audit results, reported incidents and improvements made through supplier engagement. We publish outcomes of that review internally and take measurable steps to strengthen our processes. By combining clear policies, active supplier audits, robust reporting channels and a cycle of annual review, our Harringay removal and man-with-van services aim to prevent modern slavery and protect vulnerable people across our operations.
