Modern Slavery Statement — Kentish Town Man with Van

Commitment to Prevent Modern Slavery

Kentish Town Man with Van maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in every part of our operations. As a local Kentish Town man & van provider, we recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to ensure that all people who work for us, and those who support our services, are treated with dignity and fairness. This statement explains our approach, expectations and actions to prevent exploitation in our workforce and supply chain.

Scope and Principles Our policy applies to all staff, contractors and suppliers engaged by Kentish Town removal service teams. We require everyone associated with our operations to comply with the highest standards of conduct. We adopt a risk-based approach to identify areas where people could be vulnerable to exploitation, and we implement controls designed to eliminate such risks. The Kentish Town van and man business actively promotes transparency and accountability across all activities.

Legal and Ethical Responsibilities We commit to meeting our legal obligations and exceeding them where possible. Our actions are driven by a belief that modern slavery has no place in any reputable KT man with van or removal operation. All policies are periodically reviewed to reflect changes in law, best practice and the evolving nature of supply chain risk.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We perform supplier audits and due diligence to assess and monitor partners. Our process includes:

• Pre-engagement risk assessment of prospective suppliers and subcontractors;
• Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards;
• Scheduled and random audits to verify labour standards, working hours and recruitment practices.

Audit findings are documented, and non-compliance triggers corrective action plans or termination where necessary.

Training and Awareness Kentish Town Man with Van invests in regular training for all staff and managers on recognising signs of exploitation and the procedures to follow. We ensure that recruitment staff and fleet supervisors understand modern slavery indicators and the importance of ethical hiring. Training helps embed our values throughout the organisation and among those who provide support services to our removal teams.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing We maintain clear, confidential reporting channels to enable staff and third parties to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made through internal channels, anonymous whistleblowing mechanisms, or directly to designated compliance officers. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with discretion. Protection for whistleblowers is a core part of our approach, and we enforce a non-retaliation policy.

Enforcement and Remediation Where investigations reveal breaches of our standards, Kentish Town Man with Van will take proportionate action. This can include disciplinary measures for employees, termination of contracts with suppliers, and remediation plans to support victims of exploitation. We work with relevant authorities and NGOs where appropriate to ensure that victims receive support and that perpetrators are held accountable.

Monitoring, Continuous Improvement and Supply Chain Transparency Our compliance team maintains ongoing monitoring of risk areas and supplier performance. We require suppliers to provide periodic self-assessments and to cooperate with third-party audits. We also seek to build transparent relationships with partners who share our values, preferring those who demonstrate a commitment to ethical recruitment and fair working conditions.

Annual Review and Public Statement

Kentish Town Man with Van conducts an annual review of policies, audits, training effectiveness and incidents to evaluate progress and identify improvements. The results of this review inform the next cycle of action, ensuring continuous enhancement of our approach. We publish an annual modern slavery statement summarising our activity, findings and commitments for the coming year. Through this cycle of assessment, audit, reporting and review, our goal is to eradicate modern slavery risks across our operations and supply chain, and to maintain the highest standards expected of a reputable Kentish Town removal service.
