Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Van Streatham
Removal Van Streatham is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious abuse of human dignity, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.
As a provider of relocation and transport services, Removal Van Streatham works with a range of suppliers, contractors, and service partners. We understand that risks may exist in transportation, warehousing, vehicle maintenance, cleaning, and outsourced labour. For this reason, our approach focuses on due diligence, prevention, and continuous monitoring. We expect all individuals and organisations associated with our business to act ethically and comply with applicable labour laws.
Our internal policies are designed to support a culture of vigilance. Employees and managers receive guidance on identifying warning signs such as restricted freedom of movement, withheld wages, unsafe working conditions, and identity document retention. We require fair recruitment practices and prohibit any arrangement that could create debt bondage or coercion. These standards apply across the business and are reinforced through training, supervision, and accountability.
Supplier audits form a key part of our safeguards. Removal Van Streatham carries out risk-based reviews of suppliers and service providers to assess labour practices, working conditions, subcontracting arrangements, and compliance history. Where appropriate, we request supporting documentation, verify employment standards, and conduct site visits or audits. If concerns are identified, we require corrective action, and we may suspend or end the relationship if issues are not resolved satisfactorily.
We also apply scrutiny to new and existing commercial relationships. Before engaging a supplier, we consider the nature of the service, the location of operations, and the likelihood of exposure to labour abuse. This process helps us prioritise higher-risk areas and strengthen controls where needed. Responsible sourcing is not a one-time exercise but an ongoing commitment to ethical decision-making.
Reporting channels are available to encourage early detection and action. Any employee, contractor, or stakeholder who suspects abuse may raise a concern through internal reporting routes. Reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated promptly. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith. This ensures that possible issues can be escalated safely and without fear.
When a concern is raised, we review the facts, evaluate the risk, and decide on appropriate remediation. Actions may include additional checks, enhanced monitoring, staff training, supplier improvement plans, or termination of the relevant arrangement. Our aim is not only to identify problems but also to prevent them from recurring. This approach supports a practical and proportionate response to complex supply-chain risks.
We recognise that maintaining ethical standards requires regular oversight. Therefore, Removal Van Streatham conducts an annual review of this statement and its supporting controls to ensure they remain effective and relevant. The review considers changes in legislation, business structure, supplier risk, and any incidents or lessons learned during the year. Findings are used to improve our policies and strengthen our prevention measures.
Modern slavery prevention is a shared responsibility across the organisation. By embedding due diligence, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review processes, Removal Van Streatham seeks to uphold a respectful and lawful working environment. We are committed to continuous improvement and to taking meaningful action wherever risks may arise. This commitment applies to all parts of our operations and supply chain.
