Modern Slavery Statement for Shoreditch Man And Van

Shoreditch Man And Van is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and responsibility. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chain. As a removal and transport service operating in and around Shoreditch, we recognise that even small businesses must remain vigilant and uphold ethical standards across all activities.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. The Shoreditch Man And Van team is expected to act lawfully, fairly, and transparently at all times. Any employee, contractor, or supplier found to be involved in exploitative practices may face immediate termination of the relationship and, where appropriate, referral to the relevant authorities. We expect the same commitment from every business partner working with our Shoreditch man and van services.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

Our approach to risk management begins with careful selection of suppliers and subcontractors. We seek partners who share our values and who can demonstrate compliance with labour laws, safe working practices, and ethical recruitment standards. Where necessary, we request information on workforce arrangements, pay practices, and the use of labour providers. We also review whether our Shoreditch man and van suppliers rely on vulnerable workers, temporary labour, or high-risk recruitment channels that may increase the possibility of exploitation.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Supplier audits are an important part of our prevention strategy. Shoreditch Man And Van may conduct periodic audits, document checks, and compliance reviews to confirm that suppliers are operating responsibly. These audits may include verification of right-to-work procedures, wage practices, working hours, and contract terms. If concerns arise, we will require corrective action within a reasonable timeframe. Failure to improve may result in suspension or removal from our approved supplier list. This process helps keep our man and van in Shoreditch operations aligned with ethical standards.

Reporting Channels and Speak-Up Culture

We encourage all employees, agency workers, drivers, and suppliers to report concerns if they suspect unethical conduct, unsafe conditions, or signs of exploitation. Reports can be made through internal management channels and will be handled sensitively and without retaliation. Any disclosure will be investigated promptly, and confidentiality will be respected wherever possible. By promoting a speak-up culture, Shoreditch Man And Van aims to ensure that concerns are identified early and addressed decisively before harm occurs.

Training and awareness also support our anti-slavery commitments. Team members are reminded to watch for warning signs such as restricted movement, debt bondage, coercion, withheld wages, or unusual control over workers. When these indicators are identified, we escalate the issue and apply appropriate safeguards. Our Shoreditch man and van business believes that awareness is essential to preventing abuse across the logistics and removals sector.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and the measures described within it are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and proportionate to the risks faced by the business. The review considers changes in legislation, operational developments, and supplier performance. Where improvements are identified, we update our policies, monitoring arrangements, and training practices accordingly. Shoreditch Man And Van is committed to continuous improvement and to strengthening its response to modern slavery risks year after year.

In closing, Shoreditch Man And Van reaffirms its commitment to ethical conduct, fair treatment, and responsible supply chain management. We understand that preventing modern slavery requires ongoing attention, practical controls, and a clear expectation that all parties act with integrity. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to help ensure that our modern slavery statement remains meaningful and effective.
