Modern Slavery Statement — Hampstead Man with Van

Hampstead Man with Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement describes our policies and procedures and applies to Hampstead man and van employees, contractors and supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, debt bondage, servitude or human trafficking and expect the same high standards from our partners in the London removals sector.

Scope and Responsibility

Our Hampstead removal service recognises that vulnerability can occur at many points in the logistics and moving process. Company leadership, managers and site supervisors have defined responsibilities to implement anti-slavery measures. We provide clear roles and reporting lines so that staff can act swiftly if they suspect exploitation. The board reviews this statement annually and senior management is accountable for compliance and continuous improvement.

We operate robust due diligence with our supply chain. Supplier checks include identity verification, right-to-work confirmations and contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery. We conduct supplier audits and risk assessments focused on high-risk activities such as vehicle maintenance, temporary labour and subcontracted removals. Key elements of our supplier audit process include:

• Initial risk screening and onboarding checks;
• Periodic compliance audits and site visits;
• Corrective action plans for identified issues.

Reporting Channels

We encourage all staff, subcontractors and third parties to report concerns. Our reporting channels are accessible, confidential and safe. Anyone who reports in good faith will be protected from retaliation. Reports can be raised through internal management, a designated compliance officer or via anonymous whistleblowing mechanisms. All allegations are logged and investigated promptly with proportionate remedial action where required.

To support awareness, Hampstead man-with-van runs regular training and communication campaigns for employees and managers. Training covers recognising signs of exploitation, how to respond to disclosures and the use of our reporting mechanisms. Records of training completion are maintained and supervisors receive extra guidance on handling sensitive incidents ethically and legally.

Our procurement and contracting terms include explicit anti-slavery clauses. We require suppliers to confirm their compliance with relevant labour laws and to permit audits. Where suppliers use subcontractors, they must impose the same standards and provide evidence of monitoring. Failure to meet contractual obligations can lead to remediation requirements or termination of the business relationship.

We enforce the zero-tolerance stance through clear disciplinary procedures and cooperation with law enforcement and regulators when necessary. Any employee found to be complicit in modern slavery will face disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. We will also support victims and seek to remediate harm wherever possible by coordinating with appropriate support agencies while respecting confidentiality.

Continuous improvement is central to our approach. We use performance indicators to track compliance, such as percentage of suppliers audited, number of staff trained and investigations completed within target timescales. Findings from audits and investigations inform policy updates and targeted training so that the Hampstead removals and man and van community benefits from improved safeguards.

In conclusion, this modern slavery statement reflects our commitment as Hampstead Man with Van to eradicate exploitation from our operations and supply chain. We will review this statement at least once every year, refine our supplier audit programme, maintain secure reporting channels and publish progress transparently within appropriate governance forums. Our pledge is to uphold human rights and ensure that our moving and man-and-van services remain free from modern slavery.
