Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Cheam

At Man With Van Cheam, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, and exploitation, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to all such practices.

As a provider of moving and transport services, Cheam Man With Van works with a range of suppliers, contractors, and service partners. We understand that the risk of unethical labour practices can exist at any stage of the supply chain. For this reason, our Man With Van Cheam modern slavery policy applies to all staff and third parties acting on our behalf, requiring fair treatment, lawful employment, and safe working conditions.

We expect every supplier to meet our ethical standards and to share our commitment to preventing exploitation. Before entering into new arrangements, we assess suppliers using a proportionate due diligence process that considers labour practices, business ownership, and known compliance concerns. Where necessary, we carry out supplier audits and request evidence of policies, worker protections, and employment records to help ensure that our Cheam removals supply chain remains responsible.

Our Commitment to Prevention

Training and awareness are central to our preventative approach. Managers and relevant team members are encouraged to identify warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, intimidation, excessive hours, or unusual recruitment fees. By promoting a culture of vigilance across Man With Van Cheam operations, we strengthen our ability to detect and address risks early. Any concerns raised are treated seriously and investigated promptly in line with our internal procedures.

We also require our suppliers and subcontractors to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour. If a concern is identified during a supplier audit or through other monitoring activities, we may request immediate corrective action, carry out follow-up checks, or suspend the relationship if the issue is not resolved. This approach reflects our belief that ethical performance is essential to the reputation of Cheam Man With Van and the trust placed in us by customers and partners.

Reporting channels are available to support the early reporting of suspected misconduct. Employees, contractors, and supply chain workers can raise concerns through management, designated internal reporting routes, or confidential escalation processes. We aim to ensure that anyone reporting in good faith is protected from retaliation. All reports are reviewed fairly, logged appropriately, and handled with discretion to maintain trust and encourage transparency.

Monitoring, Review, and Accountability

Accountability for modern slavery prevention sits with our leadership team, who review compliance activity and support corrective measures where needed. Our approach is embedded into procurement decisions, supplier onboarding, and ongoing relationship management. We expect Man With Van Cheam suppliers to cooperate fully with audits and to maintain accurate records that demonstrate lawful and ethical employment practices.

Where risks are elevated, we may increase oversight, request additional documentation, or revisit contractual terms to ensure they remain aligned with our standards. We also monitor developments in legislation and best practice to strengthen our approach to modern slavery prevention across the business. This helps us remain proactive rather than reactive in identifying and managing labour-related risks.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm its continued effectiveness and relevance. Each annual review considers supplier performance, audit outcomes, any reported concerns, and improvements made during the year. Updates may be introduced to reflect new risks, changes in operations, or stronger controls. Through this process, Cheam moving services and Man With Van Cheam remain committed to continuous improvement and to operating as a responsible business with a clear zero-tolerance stance on slavery and human trafficking.
