Modern Slavery Statement — Brixton Man with Van

Brixton Man with Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the policies, procedures and actions we take to ensure that forced labour, exploitative practices and any form of servitude are not tolerated by our removal teams, subcontractors, partners or suppliers. Our stance is clear: we operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery.

We recognise the responsibility of a local removal business such as the man with van in Brixton to maintain vigilance and due diligence. Our governance framework assigns clear responsibilities: senior management lead on ethical compliance, operations managers oversee day-to-day adherence, and our procurement team enforces supplier standards. All staff are expected to report concerns and to act in accordance with this statement.

To identify and mitigate risks we carry out regular risk assessments across our service activities — from local moves facilitated by the Brixton removal man with a van to contracted logistics support. We maintain a documented process for screening new suppliers, assessing the risk of human rights breaches, and applying proportionate measures where risk is identified.

Our prevention measures include rigorous supplier audits and contractual protections. Supplier audits combine documentation checks, on-site visits where practicable and remote interviews. Where we use subcontractors or temporary labour, audits verify working hours, wage records and recruitment processes to ensure no element of forced or bonded labour.

We require all suppliers and partners to comply with our code of conduct which explicitly prohibits modern slavery. Key elements of our supplier assurance program include:

• Periodic risk-based supplier audits and assessments;
• Mandatory contractual clauses prohibiting slavery and human trafficking;
• Corrective action plans and escalation processes for any non-compliance.

We operate multiple reporting channels to allow concerns to be raised safely and confidentially. Employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns to line managers or via our anonymous reporting mechanism. We maintain a clear non-retaliation policy and ensure that reports are investigated promptly and fairly. The Brixton van man workforce is trained to recognise signs of exploitation and to understand how to use reporting channels.

Zero-tolerance policy and enforcement

Our zero-tolerance position is enforced through disciplinary procedures, contract terminations and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement. Any confirmed case of modern slavery will lead to immediate action to protect victims and remediate harm, while preventing reoccurrence through strengthened controls.

Training, awareness and continuous improvement

We provide regular training for staff and managers on spotting the indicators of trafficking and exploitation. Training is tailored for operational roles such as drivers and removal crews, ensuring practical awareness for a Brixton man and van environment where frontline staff may encounter vulnerable individuals.

As part of our ongoing diligence we monitor performance using key indicators such as audit completion rates, incident reports, corrective action closures and training completion. These metrics are reviewed by senior leadership and inform continuous improvement activity to strengthen our modern slavery safeguards.

The company maintains a clear process for remediation and victim support. Where exploitation is identified, we commit to immediate measures to secure the safety of affected individuals, cooperate with relevant authorities and partner with specialist organisations where necessary to provide appropriate assistance.

Annual review: this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months to reflect changes in our operations, supply chain and the evolving risk landscape. The annual review considers audit findings, incident trends and stakeholder feedback, and results in updates to our policies, procedures and training programs.
