Modern Slavery Statement — Roehampton Man with Van
Roehampton Man with Van declares a clear and unequivocal commitment to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. This modern slavery statement applies to Roehampton man and van services, our subcontractors and anyone acting on our behalf. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, servitude, and any form of coercion. Our people, clients and partners are informed that we will not tolerate any practices that violate human rights and labour standards.
We set out expectations for suppliers and partners in procurement documents and contracts for our Roehampton removal service activities. Our standards require lawful employment, transparent wage practices, and safe working conditions. Staff training raises awareness across the business so that drivers, coordinators and administrative staff can recognise signs of exploitation. We maintain clear procedures for recruitment and engagement of temporary workers and subcontractors to minimise risk in the man-with-van and man with a van sectors.
As part of our compliance and supplier governance, Roehampton man-and-van undertakes regular supplier audits and risk assessments of third-party providers. These audits include:
- document verification of payroll and right-to-work checks;
- interviews and site visits where possible;
- assessment of recruitment fees, retention of identity documents and accommodation arrangements.
We provide multiple secure reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. Workers, clients and third parties can report suspicions through internal hotlines, designated managers, or anonymous reporting mechanisms. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and protected from retaliation. Our reporting framework emphasises:
Reporting channels and investigation
• Accessibility: clear routes for verbal and written reports.• Confidentiality: investigations conducted with discretion.
• Follow-up: corrective measures and support for affected individuals.
We collaborate with external agencies and law enforcement when an allegation requires specialist intervention and preserve evidence in line with legal obligations.
Supplier engagement and continuous improvement
Our supplier due diligence includes contractual clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws and permit audits. We encourage suppliers to implement their own policies, provide training, and demonstrate transparency. Where deficiencies are found we use a proportionate approach: engagement and remediation for minor breaches, and termination for serious or persistent violations. Roehampton man and van recognises that improvement is an ongoing process and supports capacity-building for smaller partners.
Zero-tolerance policy and employee responsibilities
All employees and contractors must comply with this policy. Breaches are disciplinary matters and could lead to dismissal or termination of contracts. Managers are responsible for ensuring awareness and monitoring compliance. We require staff to complete regular training and to actively report concerns through the channels outlined above. Our commitment extends across every element of our operations, including relocation, deliveries and ad-hoc man-with-van tasks.
Annual review and transparency
This statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months to assess effectiveness and to incorporate learnings from investigations, audits and sector developments. The annual review examines risk areas, audit outcomes, training completion rates and remediation actions taken. We publish findings internally and take remedial steps where necessary to strengthen policies and controls. The review cycle drives improvements to our Roehampton removal service policies and supplier management processes.
Conclusion: Roehampton Man with Van remains fully committed to combating modern slavery. Through a zero-tolerance approach, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review, we aim to identify, prevent and remedy any risks of exploitation in our operations and supply chains, continually raising standards for the benefit of workers and customers across our services.
