Modern Slavery Statement — Kingston Man with Van
Kingston Man with Van is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement explains the measures taken by Kingston man with a van and associated services to identify, prevent and address risks of forced labour, bonded labour, exploitation and other forms of modern slavery across our operations and supply chain.
We operate with transparency and accountability. Our Kingston van man teams, drivers and support staff are required to follow a clear code of conduct and recruitment procedure that includes right-to-work checks, fair contracts and ongoing monitoring to ensure staff welfare. The moving service provided by our Kingston removals man personnel is underpinned by training about worker rights, recognition of exploitation indicators and how to escalate concerns.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Kingston man & van services maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. Any employee, sub-contractor or supplier found to be engaging in or facilitating forced labour or trafficking will face decisive action, which may include termination of contract and referral to the appropriate authorities.
Supply Chain Management and Supplier Audits
We recognise that our risk extends beyond direct employees to the broader supply chain. We require all vendors, sub-contractors and recruitment partners to meet our minimum standards, agree to anti-slavery clauses and provide transparency about their labour practices. Our supplier due diligence includes risk-based supplier audits, documentation reviews and checks on recruitment and payroll practices.
Supplier audits are conducted periodically and after any credible allegation. These audits examine:
- Employment documentation and contracts
- Payment and working hours records
- Use of labour intermediaries and sub-contracting chains
We also embed anti-slavery clauses into our procurement processes and tender documentation. Where necessary, we include the right to inspect and verify compliance with labour standards on site. The Kingston moving van service insists that all partners provide evidence of fair recruitment practices and that fees are not charged to workers as a condition of employment.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Reporting channels are essential to detecting modern slavery. Kingston van man staff and third parties are encouraged to raise concerns through multiple, accessible routes. These include:
- Anonymous hotlines or web-based reporting systems (where available)
- Confidential in-person reports to designated managers or HR
- Internal whistleblowing procedures that protect reporters from retaliation
Training, Risk Assessment and Continuous Improvement
We perform regular risk assessments focused on geographical, sectoral and operational exposure to modern slavery. Training is delivered to our Kingston van teams, supervisors and procurement staff to help identify red flags and understand reporting obligations. Continuous improvement is driven by lessons learned from audits, incident reviews and stakeholder engagement.
Finally, we commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement. The review will assess the effectiveness of our policies, the outcomes of supplier audits, trends in reporting and any remedial actions taken. Findings from the annual review will inform updates to our policies, training and supplier management processes to ensure our Kingston moving service remains resilient against the risks of modern slavery.
Statement Approval: This statement has been prepared by leadership within Kingston Man with Van and will be reviewed and updated at least once every twelve months to reflect evolving risks and improvements in our practice. Our commitment is clear: we will not tolerate modern slavery in any part of our operations, and we will act decisively to protect workers and uphold human rights.
