Modern Slavery Statement — Enfield Man with Van
Enfield Man with Van confirms its unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement applies to all staff, contractors and partners engaged by the Enfield man with a van team, and sets out our policies, procedures and approach. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation and forced labour, and we seek to ensure fair and safe working conditions for everyone connected with our man-and-van services.
Our aims are clear: we will identify, mitigate and remedy modern slavery risks through diligent procurement, workforce oversight and training. We expect suppliers and sub-contractors to adhere to ethical labour standards consistent with applicable laws and international conventions. As a local Enfield removal service, we recognise our responsibility to lead by example, embedding anti-slavery principles into everyday decisions and contracts.
This Statement explains how the Enfield man with a van company implements due diligence, risk assessment and monitoring. We define modern slavery broadly to include forced labour, involuntary servitude, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. Through policies and procedures we maintain transparency in recruitment, vetting of temporary workers and subcontractor relationships, and we require documented evidence of workers’ rights and lawful employment practices.
Supplier Standards, Audits and Expectations
We have a structured supplier code of conduct that sets minimum expectations for labour standards and human rights across our supply chain. Suppliers providing vehicles, moving equipment, labour or ancillary services to Enfield Man-with-Van operations must agree to comply with these standards. Non-compliance is taken seriously and may result in corrective action or termination of contracts. Our approach is risk-based: higher-risk suppliers face enhanced scrutiny and more frequent reviews.
To verify compliance we conduct systematic supplier audits and assessments, combining desk reviews with on-site inspections where necessary. Audit activities include:
- Verification of employment records and right-to-work documentation
- Assessment of working hours, wage practices and living conditions
- Interviews with workers and management to detect coercive practices
Audit outcomes produce corrective action plans with clear deadlines. We track progress and escalate persistent breaches to senior management. Where suppliers demonstrate repeated failure to remedy critical issues, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate engagement and engage alternative providers committed to ethical standards.
Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review
We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made through internal whistleblowing mechanisms or via designated welfare liaisons; all allegations are treated seriously, investigated promptly and protected by non-retaliation measures. Clear, accessible and anonymous reporting helps us detect issues early and act decisively.
Our staff and operational managers receive regular training on recognising signs of exploitation and the correct response procedures. Training is updated annually and tailored to roles with higher exposure to supply chain risk, such as recruitment, subcontractor supervision and logistics coordination. We also provide guidance on responsible recruitment practices and record-keeping to reduce vulnerabilities that can lead to exploitation.
Governance of this Statement rests with senior leadership, who oversee implementation, performance monitoring and continuous improvement. We conduct an annual review of policies, audits and incident trends to evaluate effectiveness and align resources to mitigate emerging risks. Progress is measured against key performance indicators, corrective action completion rates and supplier compliance levels. By maintaining vigilance and collaboration across the business and with our partners, Enfield man and van services pledge to uphold human dignity and eradicate modern slavery from our operations.
Signed on behalf of Enfield Man with Van leadership: this modern slavery statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical labour practices, supplier accountability, robust reporting channels and regular review to ensure continuous improvement.
