Modern Slavery Statement for Camden Man And Van

Camden Man And Van is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, or any form of exploitation. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Camden Man and Van to identify, prevent, and address risks across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that a local removals and transport service can still be exposed to labour abuses through subcontractors, temporary workers, and third-party suppliers, so vigilance remains essential.

Our Commitment and Policy Framework

Our policy approach is clear: no person working for or on behalf of Camden Man & Van should be subjected to coercion, debt bondage, document retention, unsafe work, or unfair recruitment practices. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same principles. Our internal controls include right-to-work checks, recruitment due diligence, and contractual expectations that prohibit exploitation. Any concern identified by the business is treated seriously and investigated promptly.

Risk Awareness in Our Operations

Although our business model is straightforward, we understand that risks can arise in transport, storage, cleaning, maintenance, and staffing arrangements. We therefore assess potential exposure at the point of engagement and throughout the relationship. The Camden removal service supply chain is reviewed with particular attention to labour providers and any party operating in high-risk sectors or regions. Where a risk is identified, we apply additional scrutiny, request evidence, or reconsider the arrangement.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier oversight is a key part of our anti-slavery approach. We carry out proportionate supplier audits and due diligence checks to understand ownership, labour practices, and compliance with employment law. Audits may include document reviews, declarations of compliance, confirmation of worker pay practices, and confirmation that subcontractors are not used without approval. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we may suspend work, require corrective action, or end the relationship entirely.

We also monitor new and existing suppliers through periodic reviews. For example, Camden Man And Van may request evidence that workers are hired voluntarily, receive lawful pay, and are free to leave employment without penalty. These checks help us strengthen the integrity of the Camden Man and Van modern slavery statement commitments and ensure our procurement decisions support responsible trading. We aim to build long-term relationships only with partners who share our values.

Reporting concerns is vital to keeping our business safe and ethical. Any worker, contractor, or supplier who suspects modern slavery or exploitation is encouraged to raise the issue immediately through our internal reporting channels. Concerns may be shared with a manager, a designated compliance lead, or through any approved confidential route established by the business. Reports will be handled sensitively, with respect for confidentiality where possible, and without retaliation against the person raising the concern.

All reports are assessed promptly, recorded, and escalated where necessary. If there is evidence of exploitation, the matter will be investigated in line with our procedures and may involve contract suspension, further auditing, or referral to the appropriate authorities. We expect a culture where staff understand that speaking up is the responsible action. This applies equally across our Camden Man and Van workforce and any third parties acting under our direction.

Training supports this process by helping staff recognise warning signs such as control of wages, restricted movement, signs of intimidation, or inability to speak freely about work conditions. Managers are encouraged to stay alert to any unusual patterns in attendance, pay, or documentation. By maintaining awareness, the business can respond quickly and protect vulnerable people from harm.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and operational realities. During the review, we assess risk levels, supplier audit outcomes, any reported concerns, and improvements made during the year. We also consider whether additional controls are needed for the Camden man and van business model, especially where new suppliers or working arrangements are introduced.

Annual review findings are used to update our policies, improve training, and strengthen supplier due diligence. Where we identify gaps, we create action plans with clear responsibilities and deadlines. This cycle of review supports continuous improvement and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to responsible practice. Our aim is not only compliance, but a genuine contribution to preventing exploitation in every part of our work.

In summary, Camden Man And Van takes a firm stand against modern slavery in all its forms. Through a zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review process, we work to ensure that our operations remain ethical and transparent. The business will continue to refine its approach, uphold human dignity, and expect the highest standards from everyone connected to Camden Man And Van.
