Modern Slavery Statement — Haringey Man with Van

Our commitment

Haringey Man with Van (also referenced as the Haringey man and van service in this statement) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms within our operations and our supply chains. We have a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that amounts to forced labour, servitude, or exploitation. This statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent and mitigate the risk of modern slavery across our local removals, man-with-van and transport services.

We expect every person working for or on behalf of our Haringey man-with-van business to act lawfully and ethically. Our approach is informed by the belief that everyone is entitled to fair working conditions and freedom from coercion. We will not tolerate recruitment through debt bondage, the withholding of wages, the retention of identity documents, or unsafe working practices.

To make these principles tangible we implement targeted controls across our procurement and operational practices, including:

• Robust supplier selection procedures and contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery legislation.
• Mandatory declarations from sub-contractors and labour providers about employment practices.
• Periodic risk assessments focused on high-risk roles and geographic supply chains for our Haringey removal service and related partners.

Supplier audits and assurance

We operate a structured supplier audit programme to verify compliance. Audits combine documentary review, remote checks and on-site visits where appropriate. Audits are prioritised for suppliers and contractors who provide labour or who source materials in higher-risk sectors. Findings lead to corrective action plans, with persistent non-compliance resulting in contract termination. Our supplier monitoring covers temporary crews, drivers, sub-contracted man with a van teams, and warehouse partners.

Audits assess working hours, wage records, recruitment fees, identity and right-to-work checks, and worker engagement. Where an audit reveals risks, we require clear remediation steps and re-assessment. We also provide guidance to suppliers on ethical recruitment and encourage them to maintain their own anti-slavery policies and training.

To support continuous improvement, we maintain training modules for managers and front-line staff in the Haringey man with van network. Training helps employees spot signs of exploitation, understand reporting channels, and know their responsibilities under our zero-tolerance stance.

Reporting channels and annual review

We provide secure and confidential reporting channels so staff, contractors and the public can report concerns about modern slavery or labour exploitation. Reports are taken seriously and treated promptly; allegations are investigated by trained personnel and, where necessary, referred to the appropriate authorities. We guarantee that whistleblowers will be protected from retaliation and that reports can be made anonymously if desired.

Key elements of our reporting and remediation framework include:

• Dedicated investigation procedures and documented case management.
• Protection measures for affected workers, including safe accommodation, legal support referrals and, where practicable, alternative employment options.
• Escalation to leadership and requirement for board-level oversight for serious incidents.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies and practices. The review evaluates the effectiveness of our prevention measures, supplier audit outcomes, training uptake and incident responses. Results of the review inform improvement plans and resource allocation. A named senior manager is responsible for implementing changes and reporting progress to senior leadership.

Conclusion: Haringey Man with Van is resolute in eradicating modern slavery from its operations and supply chain. Through clear policy, active supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, meaningful remediation and an annual review loop, we aim to protect vulnerable people and uphold the highest standards of integrity across our man-with-van and removals services.
